I love to read. Obviously. But there are some books I just hate to read. Not only do I hate to read them, I think I even hate to see them! I hate “How To” books for example and “Secrets to Success ” books. Just the sight of someone standing there with a cheesy smile promising that their book is what you’ve been waiting for your whole life just irks me. I don’t care for religious books either. When I say religious I’m not talking about biblical references, direction, guidance, and some kind of message. I’m talking about church sermons in the form of a book. It’s just not a good idea to post entire scriptures in your novel or book or whatever. If I wanted to read the bible I would do just that. But the “How to” thing pretty much takes the cake though. It’s border line depressing even. “Want a better life? Buy my book!” I’m sorry, what? To make matters worse these things sell like crazy, amazing.
