Keep in mind that I am a million years old and generally cranky. But seriously, if one more idiot puts **spoiler alert** in front of their 'review' when they evidently don't even know what it means, I'm quitting goodreads. One review had **spoiler alert** and then one word--'funny.' Whoops, no use me reading the damn book now that I know that. One literary critic put **spoiler alert** followed by a three paragraphs of grbhenn caciee2 thnrrncd bacaa riknnniethow2rrillc. Thanks for the warning.
And while I'm at it, would it be too much trouble for you reviewers to actually HAVE A POINT when you type out the drivel? "I read this book when my sister was sick and two dogs were screwing on the front lawn. I really liked it." (Obviously you would have notated this with **spoiler alert** beforehand).
I would expect a number of new **spoiler alert** reviews now, just trying to get me to quit goodreads. In fact I've already received a number of requests to remove myself. Usually something like "if you think its a poor man's tower of babel, why don't you get off?" I guess the answer is that I get too much material to share with my writers group, all of whom are too damn snotty to even get on goodreads.
