- when everyone's favourite book list includes pride and prejudice or the great gatsby
- people with book shelves full of brand new books
- even WORSE: people with shelves full of second hand books that look obscure and read multiple times when really they're a cheap and pretentious wall decoration
- blurbs that dont tell you anything about the book
- sifting through 5 pages of reviews from newspapers and nothing magazines, 3 pages of publishing notes, and introduction by some boring author, a dedication to pet-named relatives, a preface and a contents page under the illusion that it all might be important or informative or relevant before you can start the book properly
- i hate people who force bookmarks upon me. let me fold the page corners
- large print texts ruin stories for me, turning pages in a constant motion detracts from plot.
- the stereotype of 'curling up with a good book'. i haven't found this 'curling' position, i dont think it exists.. when people say this i just think of numb limbs and cramp.
- how the pages with sex scenes are always visibly more worn
- hardcovers = hard to read & a waste of money (most of the time)
