Really interesting list - Eric Arvin's blog

I wrote a review for one of Eric Arvin's books - Simple Men ~ Buy Here ~ for Dark Diva Reviews  and he was kind enough to leave a nice comment... I love author comments! *grin*
Aaaaanyway... when I went to his blog - Daventry Blue - there's a post that not only surprised me, but really had me shaking my head.  The post is 100 Bad Books and when I perused the list - I've read and have 11 of the books... but I think I'm going to have to do some more reading - I was wondering just where these people get their lame-ass ideas from.  I mean, really!

So check out the list and see how ridiculous you find some, if not all, of them.  People - especially North Americans (and I include Canada along with the US) - are just way too puritanical for my tastes. 
And here I could go on a rant about the weird attitudes that changed a children's Japanese anime program when translated to English, including cutting episodes, changing characters' gender and changing the relationship between two women.... *GAH*
 I'm speaking of Sailormoon / Sailor Moon... but that's a rant for a different time and one that I've indulged in before, although not here.
