/r/BadReads
Because sometimes: a book review says more about the reviewer than it does about the book. r/BadReads is a showcase of the most unhelpful book reviews from all over the internet: reviews that are shallow, vapid, vacuous or otherwise totally missing the point. Parody/satirical and tongue-in-cheek reviews are also welcome.

BadReaders,
Welcome to our weekly thread for any and all instances of:
If you have a literary or bookish hot-take of your own (who doesn't?) feel free to air it here. Have an unpopular opinion about a book that you're too afraid to admit on any other thread? Post it here.
If you really need to get something off your chest about any of the posts from the past week or about the state of the sub, this weekly thread is the place to do it!
Get to unjerking, jerks.

Hey! BadReads started to follow me on Goodreads. Presumably because of my less then favourable reviews of Ulysses and Don Quichote.
Sooo, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Worth noting; my edition of the book doesn’t have any dialogue until page 7. And there are plenty more pages after that with none. Idk how this person functions
Joining this AARP sponsored book club on FB was the biggest mistake of my social media life. It’s the most clueless group of old white women in one spot. .**And I can say that as a clueless white woman

Dearest BadReaders,
It's been a rough couple of months in Obliterature Land which required me to focus less on the goings-on of Reddit and the world wide web, so I've been gone for a while. I'm back, and I've made some adjustments to the rules around here. I don't really care if you're a goodreader or if you're practicing "review apologetics" anymore. Just don't be a dick, be respectful, and try your best to engage in intelligent conversation on these threads. You can defend a review that's posted here all you want, but don't tell people that a review "doesn't belong here". What does or doesn't belong here will be determined by me and my mod team (whenever I get around to recruiting new mods).
That said, here are the "new" rules:
Mods reserve final judgment and discretion on what is and is not appropriate for the subreddit and may thereby delete, remove, or ban whatever content and/or users they see fit.
2. All Book Reviews Belong on r/BadReads
Here at r/BadReads, we believe all book reviews suck. If you don't think so, you also suck, so get with the program, nerd.
3. Prejudice, Bigotry, and Hate Speech Are Strictly Forbidden
Bans will be handed out promptly to anyone who posts or comments bigotry, to include but limited to: racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, etc.
4. No Cyberbullying/Personal Attacks
It goes without saying that no one should be verbally assaulting or bullying anyone else who subscribes here. Comments about reviewers that fall into this territory will also count as violations of this rule. Violations will be removed; repeat violators will be banned.
5. Spam & Troll Policy
Spam posts are strictly forbidden. Depending on the circumstances, spam posts may include posts that are off-topic or deviate from the primary purpose of the subreddit, which is to share bad book reviews and literary opinions.
