Bob @ Beauty in Ruins

PLEASE NOTE: I'm rarely active here anymore, but please feel free to follow me on Goodreads, where I post regularly.

 

These are the chronicles of a book addict, a photo junkie, and an aspiring author, rewriting the very fabric of reality one page (and one snapshot) at a time. From the strange to the unusual; the abandoned to the abnormal; the haunted to the historic; the supernatural to the surreal; the forests of dark fantasy, the cemeteries of gothic horror, and the post-apocalyptic ruins of science fiction are the landscapes of my imagination.

In Defense of (Bad) Fantasy - Part One

The only thing more polarizing than asking a bunch of fans to name the 'best' of their chosen fandom is asking those same fans to name the 'worst' instead. The love of a 'best' book will either spawn a whole lot of emotional gushing, or a painstakingly constructed argument in its defense. 

When it comes to the hatred of a 'worst' book, the reaction isn't really that much different . . . stop by and take part in the conversation.
