Drinking With Nixon

Your Mama's got plans, your daddy's aim is true.
She never understood that it ain't no good.
Papa never heard the cool.
I really love Goodreads, a must if you are on the 52 book challenge. http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4445664-nathan

It's the main thing that bugs me about Goodreads too. I'm reading Lolita right now and was perusing the reviews, and this exact scenario happened a few times in just the 3 reviews that I read. It's extremely prevalent in the Young Adult paranormal romance crowd but that's probably because it really is inundated with terrible books.

According to Goodreads Lolita is the 36th worst novel of all time! But hey that's just part of the experience. I literally read a review on the The Great Gatsby where someone said that Jay Gatsby should have worked harder instead of daydreaming all the time :psyduck:. Then I realized that the reviewer more than likely has not touched the book outside of high school and it made me feel better.
