The Blackwater series by Michael McDowell

THE GODWHALE by T.J. Bass. I lost count after 38 times.

I can’t even listen to an audiobook for this reason.

I can’t stand it when some character is in a pitched battle with a deadly enemy and he gets knocked out, and the enemy…just leaves without finishing him off. Then the character gets up, dusts himself off and re-enters the story with no aftereffects.

YES, you are supporting the author. The more a book gets checked out the more likely they are to buy another copy! In the pricey library binding!

A ROMANCE OF TWO WORLDS by Marie Corelli is full of wrongnesses. I especially love the book’s theory about the moon. Also check out THE COOKSEY-NISENBAUM MURDERS by Terry Cooksey, which is a sight to behold.

OP is describing the first time I read THE DECLINE AND FALL OF PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY by Will Cuppy. It was way over my head and I didn’t realize that he was joking all the way through. Now I re-read it for the humor!
