I get pickier and pickier with every book I read, and I don't think that's a bad thing. You can only read so many things in your lifetime and I don't have time for atrociously overwritten "poetic" prose. Thoughts charging, blood having "metallic breath," all in the first paragraph. And it only gets worse.
