Default Which books did you hate that you still read all the waythrough? OK, way OT, but fascinating

Ali, came in one day and said "Are you having lunch?" (what was the
giveaway? The half eaten sandwich? The cup of tea? The fact I was
reading a book?) so I said I was but what could I do for her anyway?
(sandwiches don't go cold after all) and she said "What's the
book?" (She's a big reader) so I showed her....

Note to self: People will think you are weird if your idea of
lunchtime reading is "Current Methods of Autopsy Practice" (I'm
fascinated by forensic medicine and our hospital library has a good
selection)

There used to be book covers you could buy that were conversation
staters/stoppers. They were mockups of fake books to hide the one you were
reading - useful for public transportation, I guess.

There is one type of book I avoid like the plague, these are the Reader's
Digest condensed versions. Has anyone read any of these? Yech!
