heh..actually, it's not that hard :) I can think of quite a few
exceptions (C.S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot, Sam Johnson, Ben Jonson, Samuel
Taylor Coleridge, Oscar Wilde, Wordsworth, Shelly. . . and the list goes
on) Those are the rantings of an uneducated, though successful, fiction
writer.
You know, you **can** write successful fiction and be pretty ignorant :)
I mean, shoot, Dominic Dunne doesn't even know the meaning of the word
