I started to read an Archer book about his time in Prison having been awarded 4years for perjury. It was so tedious, I reckon if the judge knew he was going to write such tripe he would have added on another four years for bad behaviour.

Any religious book. Obvs can't name names for fear divine retruibution/terrorist attack/fatwah, lol.

The complete works of Lee Child -a man called 'Reacher to wipe yo' ass, not kick it. An execrable end to execrable writing.


(Oh, and reams, and reams of really-bad sci-fi. There's just so much of it..! )

Catch 22 would hopefully be absorbent enough.

I've just received the offer of 80 books on Kindle for £1 each.

Out of that selection, I'd include any book for loo role where the subject is a woman with the perfect marriage who, for some strange and coincidental reason, discovers that's she's been living a lie.

In the case of severe looseness, I'd also include any book where the blurb mentions 'one woman's journey'.

Why are so many women moving around? Or getting married to impostors?

I've designed this free template for toilet paper.

[insert cool name ending in -ie] is living the dream in the picturesque [insert name of high end village, even town] she calls home. She is a successful [pick a STEM related career, or in green aspects, or human rights lawyer, expert in virology - very current], is [married to, or partner with] a handsome [high level caring career, perhaps paediatrician or similar], and has a [describe model child, or cat] who is only months away from [some successful educational programme, prize at Crufts for Cats].

But then one [modifier to suggest drama, thrill, terror] night, everything changes. A [crime, such as robbery, violent burglary, car accident, terrorist incident, hit by MI5], [subject ending in -ie] is [generally rushed, but consider flown by helicopter with a chatty pilot] to hospital. She survives, but with [temporary blindness, mental problems excluding violence, memory loss, severe limp], [secrets, memories, revelations] are [forced, exposed, revealed] causing doubt about her [insert one or more members of her immediate family]’s identity. [-ie] starts to [doubt her sanity, doubt the sanity of husband, doubt her grip on reality]. Her [idyllic, perfect, happy] life begins to [dissolve, crack open, fall apart] and her world [shatters, explodes, implodes, or other form of ploding] [utterly, completely].

[-ie]’s [resolve, strength, abilities] will be tested as her [pick two or more of wife, mother, infection rate, some other aspect of her life] and career woman (that’s a must]) as she searches for [answers, resolution (that’s particularly good), reasons]. She is tested in [specify the particular ways] as she suffers from [betrayal by husband, child, colleagues, police, heartbreak, anger, Covid-19, but never vicar,], but manages to [pull through, solve, succeed] and [heals, finds trust] and moves on (an essential) with hope and new purpose. [Don’t mention husband]

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. What a load of drivel. We did it for 'O' level English literature. The plot seemed to rely on multiple coincidences and had very dull characters. Honestly, I think my backside deserves better.

Controversially perhaps, 'The Seven Pillars of Wisdom' by T.E. Lawrence. I really did want to read it but found the introduction so heavy going I gave up.
