Have you read any books in which you feel the author gets better at writing over time?

For example, I am reading End of the Game and Other Stories, by Julio Cortazar. The first stories are just okay, but the last ones in the collections are really fucking good. With every new short story, it feels like Cortazar is becoming a better and better writer; the prose is better, the concept of the story is better, the depth for analysis is better.

Harry Potter
Hunger Games

my weird take?
Not over diff. books.
Some books, I find myself not quite stumbling over prose, but... then it *catches* and I'm good there on out. I guess I got used to the prose style, or it was an author's technique.

hope the triple bypass surgery goes well, fatass

Dickens basically levels up with each new book. Pickwick Papers is fun and cute, Oliver Twist is nice enough, but the real masterpieces come later.
