I just read the third book in the Kushiel series and I was tempted to...it had been a few months since I read the previous book and there are SO. MANY. CHARACTERS. I kept forgetting who everyone was! (Especially because half of them are dead now anyway). #2 is a serious pet peeve of mine. It is the biggest reason that I hate Heart of Darkness. I hate it. The only thing that brings out more loathing in Waiting for Godot. A WHOLE SEMESTER ON THAT FUCKING PLAY. Why?? WHY. <br /><br />...I got sidetracked. Anyway, I was highly entertained by this post!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410313100360697809.post-2567516095518118192013-12-12T13:08:46.916-06:002013-12-12T13:08:46.916-06:00I should do your #4.

I remember having to do that for The Heart of Darkness, because each sentence was a page long. I like long sentences, but NOOOO.<br /><br />2. I recently DNFed a book for the lack of transitions. If we're changing the scene, can we have a page break please?<br /><br />3. Actually I love when this happens, but it does mean the book is shit, but, hey, I'm laughing which is awesome. This was me during all of Red Rain, for example. That book was the definition of hilaribad.<br /><br />4. Fun fact: I never consult glossaries. Either I figure it out by context (fun!) or I don't.<br /><br />5. I do NOT remember that scene in Black City. I DO remember the animal death that happened for cheap plot device reasons.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.com
