Re: The Aardvark is Ready for War. Camilla Send a noteboard - 18/06/2010 11:28:55 PM
I don't think I can bring myself to finish reading it.

I might glue it shut and keep it for the cover.

Or turn it into one of those secret hidey books and sequester my chocolate away from the Tim.

Hmmm.


That is so sad. It had such a good title.
If it is really that bad, I approve of the hiding chocolate idea. I have always wanted to have a secret hiding book, but I have never had a book that was at once bad enough for me to want to ruin it and cool enough for me to want it on my shelf. I am considering buying a "how to play bridge" book for the purpose.

Titles or covers? Camilla - 18/06/2010 02:15:56 PM 1031 Views
Title I guess random thoughts - 18/06/2010 02:29:14 PM 784 Views
More the cover. nossy - 18/06/2010 03:07:29 PM 789 Views

Title if I had to choose, but unlikely I'd get an unheard-of book without a blurb. *NM* Legolas - 18/06/2010 04:17:23 PM 353 Views
Why don't you people want to play? Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:19:21 PM 776 Views
Okay, so the Martians come down and make you pick between McDonald's and Burger King. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:53:26 PM 723 Views
That is not a fair comparison Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:54:33 PM 725 Views
Yes it is. And you didn't answer my question. Why won't you just play the game? Tom - 18/06/2010 10:57:24 PM 768 Views

Stop spelling it wrong! Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:15:29 PM 786 Views
I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:16:42 PM 727 Views
Re: I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:20:31 PM 798 Views
Well, in that case - titles. *NM* Tom - 20/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 340 Views
really you just never pick up a book ans say "what the hell I will read this one" random thoughts - 18/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 847 Views
Very rarely, and only in the library if that. Legolas - 18/06/2010 05:54:48 PM 748 Views
I found one of my favorite writers that way random thoughts - 18/06/2010 06:12:00 PM 791 Views
I agree. That was how I got hooked on fantasy. Sort of. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:21:41 PM 756 Views
Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:16:17 PM 716 Views

No they don't. I have lost on several gambles. But I have had enough success that I keep trying. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:24:09 PM 749 Views
Agreed. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:25:10 PM 331 Views

Neither. I own too many books. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:52:30 PM 746 Views
I would cheat. callandor1000 - 18/06/2010 05:37:29 PM 810 Views
Huh. I suppose, since I have to choose, I'd go for cover. At least it would look pretty. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 05:56:43 PM 740 Views
I was noticing when I went to the public book sale that I am a title person. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 07:56:13 PM 713 Views
But I buy Playboy for the articles! *NM* Larry - 18/06/2010 08:02:52 PM 365 Views
Hmm, that's a toughy. It's really a toss of the dice; could go either way. I'd go with cover... lord-of-shadow - 18/06/2010 08:08:00 PM 811 Views
Neither would be the determinant factor for me... DomA - 18/06/2010 08:20:37 PM 840 Views

With nothing else to go on I'd say Title. *NM* j-whitt987 - 18/06/2010 10:27:24 PM 318 Views

Covers are there to stop you from buying books, if they are ugly. jh - 19/06/2010 05:34:22 AM 816 Views
Cover, I suppose. That's what grabbed me for Hyperion and Otherland. *NM* Craig - 19/06/2010 08:50:38 PM 521 Views
Fantasy books have notoriously bad covers. ajah - 20/06/2010 07:51:31 AM 735 Views
What about opening sentence or paragraph? Why isn't that an option? *NM* Tim - 20/06/2010 01:50:59 PM 333 Views
Because it is my survey Camilla - 20/06/2010 01:52:39 PM 763 Views
