20 Books Todd Would Rather Have Avoided (Whoops)

I am not sure that this list is the best idea. I have trouble being negative. And I do try to read a lot partially so that the risk of reading something I don't like has less of an impact. I dislike most of these because of the writing more than the content or the stories. I listened to The Bomber Mafia and didn't like that it was produced as a podcast. I like audiobooks to be reading clearly and in a way that does not impose any particular meaning other than what is in the text itself. If you don't like this as a corollary to the 20 books that stayed with us idea, then please don't take it up. But it might be nice to develop a comprehensive list of avoidable books so that more time can be dedicated to the really good ones. Happy reading and Thanksgiving!
