Some of his writing is good, though. I get something out of some of his essays.

Yeah, a lot of his writing is worthwhile and/or interesting. The six chapters of novel he wrote were worthless, though.

He announced it as an experiment and never claimed to be the new Shakespeare. Where is the problem? Experimenting with writing is what blogging is about, among other things.

Ok, "worthless" is a bit harsh and failed the "would I say it to Aaron's face" standard. His 6/30ths of a novel was an interesting experiment.
