So I'm an atheistic Satanist and I was looking at the Barnes & Noble website to see if "the satanic bible" by Anton LaVey was available. I saw this review and it was funny as hell. (More in description)

Bro. Imagine crashing out over a BOOK. Dude, this person's actions toward Anton LaVey's book does not mean or affect anything. Unlike religious texts, the satanic bible holds no "supernatural" or "divine power" or "sacred holiness". It is simply a book written by a man meant to inform and teach people about this specific philosophy. It's not the highway to hell or whatever the fuck lol. If you feel the need to throw an egg on a book and think reading a book with curiosity and gaining knowledge about something is going to send you to an imaginary hell, you sure don't seem to be very secure about your beliefs lol. Reminds me of when religious people were enraged when the Harry Potter books and movies came out and they thought they were trying to teach kids about witchcraft lol.

A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin

I can't read, so three stars. Hopefully, in the future, I'll be able to read. But not today, so here are some strange fetishes.

I found this hilarious (and weirdly political) 1-star review. What is this guy on about?

My favourite pastime is reading one star reviews of the media I like, you can find some truly funny stuff sometimes.

This review however confused me a bit. The reviewer brings up the fact that Eridians are hermaphrodites (which is never mentioned in the movie, only the book), and Grace's asexuality (which is a popular HEADcanon)?? LMAO I had no idea the movie had haters like this.

Edit: I'm pretty sure this review is just a troll (I refuse to believe otherwise, for the sake of my sanity) but the implication that a hater got well-versed in the books content and fandom headcanons just to write this review is too funny not to share.

I'm planning on reading this because the description sounds so good, but the reviews are all over the place.

What is the worst book you have read?

The one that made you stare at the wall afterward and wonder why you wasted precious hours of your life. I want to hear the titles that personally offended your soul.

For me is Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

A review of "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor

Flaired as "Reddit" because there's no Thriftbooks flair

Did I not like the book “Ward D” by Freida McFadden or did I just not like the narration by Leslie Howard?

I felt like the main character, Amy, was too morally superior for my taste. Or was it just the narration by Leslie Howard making that decision through her super giddy voice? I’ve only read one other Freida McFadden book (The Boyfriend), but it didn’t give me the same narration read. I read “The Boyfriend” in my own time instead of listening to the audiobook. I just can’t tell if I really didn’t like Amy from Ward D or the narration.
