but... if you like knowing how things work, and yet find them to be broken... then you really only know how they don't work, don't you? ;)
it is also true that i don't really read a lot of bad writing. i tend to stick to things i either know are quite good from sources i trust or things i have read before. there is the occasional bit though. like Mark of the Angel. can't recall the author. but she should be shot. in the feet. and left to bleed. and bleed. and then i would pee on her grave. but i beat that book! it tried to stop me from finishing it through sheer terribleness. even i was daunted, but like all true evil, never vanguished! i won! and it was free.
