Books
Books To Read, And Books To Avoid
Introduction
I start a lot of books, but finish only a small percentage of them. Why? Because many of the Sci-fi/ Fantasy books written these days are ether trash, or unworthy. By trash I mean full of depraved filth, and by unworthy I mean of exiguous quality.
I thought I'd start a list of books I didn't read due to one of the above reasons. Or rather, that I started but did not finish. Then I got to thinking, why have a list of books that aren't worth the reading, but not a list of books that are worth reading? So I'll add that section when I have time.
I have also included books and authors to avoid or read from other people whose judgement I trust.
