My Personal Rules Regarding Books In General And Genre Books Specifically<\/span><\/p>\n

* Always try to have two or more books waiting to be read past the current one you are reading.<\/p>\n

* If you loan out a book don’t be disappointed if it isn’t returned.<\/p>\n

* Don’t bother buying books that are collections of blogs if you already read the blog.<\/p>\n

* If you don’t like a book by an author give them one more try to win you over.<\/p>\n

* With zombie themed books you can absolutely judge the book by the cover. The lamer the cover art, the worse the book inside.<\/p>\n

* Just because something was published first on the net doesn’t make it subpar. David Wellington for example.<\/p>\n

* Shared world short story collections (Wildcards, Theives’ World, etc.) will always have at minimum one lame short story that you will have to plow through per book.<\/p>\n

* Look for reviews of books based on RPGs before buying\/reading said book. This has helped me avoid some disasters.<\/p>\n

* If you like a writer’s work, try to avoid meeting or talking to that person. At best it is mildly disappointing at worst very, very irritating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
