I just don't get stream of consciousness lit. Nothing about it works for me and I really can't enjoy stories with children in danger or where young children have to care for their drug addicted or mentally ill parents. And don't get me started on people who dog ear my books. I get practically apoplectic about it. Great list.Martha@Hey, I want to read thathttp://heyiwanttoreadthat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-70679455975701875182011-03-24T19:51:32.448-04:002011-03-24T19:51:32.448-04:00Oh yes, so totally with you on #9!

It's really annoying when you pick up a book that looks like a Victorian mystery and it's really an excuse for some plotless romance. And don't EVEN get me started on the Twilight-inspired covers of classicsBirdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850833262363051091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-47454919629248548712011-03-23T00:17:27.433-04:002011-03-23T00:17:27.433-04:00You asked me what I was reading when I referred to...You asked me what I was reading when I referred to a book that had no quotation marks. I am reading the book: The Evidence of Unseen Things by Wiggins.

I found reading The Hunger Games disturbing for that very reason and I'm not sure I'll ever understand why it is such a hit. Kids killing kids? Not something I want to read about. Ever. Good list. I also agree about those people who are nosey standing in line who feel the need to question your book buying/borrowing habits!Lesleyhttp://23tolife.com/2011/03/22/top-ten-tuesday-book-pet-peeves/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-16089912236301558312011-03-22T16:38:44.937-04:002011-03-22T16:38:44.937-04:00I'm glad I'm not the only one who can'...I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't do the steam of consciousness thing. <br /><br />I don't understand people who highlight in books that aren't theirs.
