The Courage to be Disliked — Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga
I couldn’t finish it. Bless me, i tried to, i really did, but i really couldn’t take any more of this tedious mediocrity.
I could barely manage a chapter before i had to put it aside and go off and read something else, but i kept on coming back to it with good intentions, but each time i would just end up putting it down again and go off once more to read something else. After 4 months of this, toing and froing, i just had to give up: it really wasn’t doing my happiness any good whatsoever.
To sum it up: there’s someone who claims to be a philosopher who is having a discussion with a young man, but the young man is asking all the wrong questions and failing miserably to point out the flaws in the supposed philosopher’s babble: the ridiculousness of this conversation just makes one feel like banging ones head against the wall.
Seriously people, you could just keep picking random books off library bookshelves for the rest of your life and not read anything as tedious and pointless as this book.
As such, this book has received my website’s great honour of being placed on “The Bookshelf of Infamy”, i’ve also deleted it from my Kindle and Amazon account: yes, it really is that bad.
I certainly won’t be bothering to read the sequel.

The Constantine Affliction — T. Aaron Payton
I was hoping for some really good old fashioned Steampunk, but it’s certainly not the usual kind of Steampunk that one is used to. It’s alright though, i read it to the end and don’t feel disappointed.
One caveat: this is most certainly not for children, so don’t go giving them a copy or you may be answering some rather awkward questions.
So yeah, an alcoholic private-detective meets his soul mate, a cis-woman, but he’s already married to a trans-woman who has been changed by the Constantine Affliction; then there’s a Frankenstein monster scientist looking for his soul mate, or rather trying to create her from corpses; a mad crazy megalomaniac inventor, Queen Victoria, dark and dingy Victorian London streets and tunnels, criminals and monsters, to name but a few: all designed to keep you thoroughly entertained.
So yeah, have at it.
