Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

While I'm on about books...... see my previous answer what the frak is it with publishers not putting a blurb about the book on the back cover/inside dust cover (if hardback)?
Look, I get that it's well reviewed. Oh, it's won a few awards as well? Made it on a few 'best of' lists? Congratu-frakking-lations. But, here's the thing. If I can't find out what the book is about, while holding it in my hand in a bookstore, I really don't care if the cover features Kelly Brook and Christina Hendricks getting hot and heavy, it's been praised by every deity known to humankind and every single literary award just handed over and shut up shop as it will never be beaten.
I will not buy it. Why should I, with not even a basic idea of the story contained within.

Youre not alone in that. If I can't find any blurb I put the book down and find another.
