What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?

I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?

    Haruki Murakami. I read The Wild Sheep Chase and didn’t really enjoy it that much but I wanted to try another book and see if I liked that more. So I read Norwegian Wood and loved it. I’ve also read South Of The Border, West Of The Sun now and loved that as well. I’m considering getting 1Q84 next.
