(A feature of The Broke and the Bookish)
I can’t really say that
there are single words that turn me off from a book (vampire: let's indulge!, clockwork:
absolutely!, dragon: Sam has stolen it from my hands) but there certainly are
combinations of words (some people call it a title- I really think
that's going to catch on) that simply perplex me.
Here are some of those titles. **Please note I have not
actually read any of these books, so I give in to that inexpiable sin of
judging a book by its cover and title.
The Best Dad Is a Good Lover by Charlie W. Shedd
Hands off, dude.
George Bush, Dark Prince of Love by Lydia Millet
The Goodreads summary
tells me this book is “written with razor-sharp satiric wit and packed with wry
observations of our times.” I find that hard to
believe.
