Blood & Rhetoric

I’ve officially overdosed on bad fiction

That’s it. I’m done.

If I pick up another promising novel, slathered in good reviews by authors I respect, and reviewers who should know better, I’m going to lose my fucking mind.

For what feels like the millionth time, I’ve put down yet another unfinished novel in frustration.

It can’t be me wrong, it just can’t.

And to think, I used to be that person who had to finish the book or movie no matter how unbearable. I guess my time has become too precious – although, I did sit through the entirety of Meet the Spartans last night, so maybe I should shut up.  I’m still a bit traumatized by the god-awfulness of it.

How awful is the slush pile if so much crap still manages to get through?
