Tribulation Force. Why? It was in our free library and I figured why not? I am regretting it now. My OCD about finishing books is making me finish it.
*I am a master proofreader after I click Submit.
* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania

I know the feeling. I wonder just how much time I have spent on finishing bad books just because I started them.
