I hate when there are dog-eared pages. It's like - really? you couldn't have used a bookmark, or at least a piece of scrap paper?<br /><br />I also hate bad editing - it leaves a bad taste in your mouth almost, about the book and I fail to then enjoy the rest of the book.<br /><br />Too much detail is also a biggie. Over-detailing something in a book is like any Family Guy episode in the sense that the book/author takes that one thing beyond its necessary detailing/explaining.<br /><br />The one thing that I would have included in this top ten list would be cracked spines. I know it shows that a book is well loved and read quite a bit, but it's just so unattractive.<br /><br />I did <a href="http://tales-of-a-bookworm.blogspot.com/2011/04/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-books-that-made.html" rel="nofollow"> Top Ten Book that make you cry</a> this week.immortalelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895948049525565450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027883187751199935.post-29248105189154919612011-04-20T03:18:17.197+02:002011-04-20T03:18:17.197+02:00This is a great list.

All of my friends look at me funny whenever I get annoyed and start peeling them off. <br /><br />Also, overuse of the same word/phrase is why I've tended to stay away from Anne Rice. I read one of her Vampire Chronicles novels and I wanted to buy her a thesaurus. Seriously, how many times can you say "preternatural" in one paragraph?gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027883187751199935.post-43993664278419247492011-04-20T01:43:10.078+02:002011-04-20T01:43:10.078+02:00Great list!

It makes the book seem more like fan fiction than an actual published novel!

I totally dog ear my books.<br /><br />I agree with you on genre labelling/looking down upon and gender labelling. I actually tend to shy away from books that seem marketed to women...something about the idea is offensive to me, but this means that sometimes, for years, I miss books that I'd otherwise enjoy simply because they have a cover that screams "this was written by a woman, for a woman." Why isn't fiction by women marketed more like fiction by men - like it's for everyone? And I think you're right on about genre fiction; I'd be missing a lot if I only read "literary fiction."<br /><br />-- EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
