extrapenguin25: A book that you think about and you cringe because of how terrible it was
Well, most recently, Newton's Wake by Ken MacLeod, since FUNETIK AKZINT NOPENOPENOPE. Other than that, Tuija Lehtinen's Mopo (a Finnish-language nongenre YA book) was assigned to us on 7th or 8th grade, and it was terrible. It was like watching paint dry. It's slice-of-life about *quick google* 10 boys and 1 girl who own mopeds. The words are used on describing mopeds and their maintenance, and the idiotic pining that most of the boys are engaged in. Ugh.
26: Do you read from recommendations or whatever book catches your eye?
A little column A, a little column B. I also read stuff that has a fandom already, which is how I got into Vorkosigan and TGE.
27: How/where do you purchase your books?
First Amazon, then after they discontinued free shipping to Finland, Adlibris and Booky.
28: An ending you wish you could change
Well, more of a middle, but: no het for Honor Harrington. She can be ace, or she can get together with Mike Henke. (Or some other woman, but Mike preferred.)
Oh, and in the Revelation Space series, Volyova A) does not die, and B) gets together with Ana Khouri.
