I was reading a romance book and when the male lead was introduced he was described as “reading the economist”, needless to say i instantly dropped that book
Chapo book had a factoid:
“France: Population: 656 million anthropomorphic candlesticks”
It’s literally 65 million. Is this a typo? Is it a joke? Proofread your book before you publish. Stopped reading.
I made the same mistake with the Colbert book back in the day.
Never buy political comedy books.

My phone died and I had to get a new one, so when I opened whatever Ice and Fire book I was on, I had to figure out what “John” chapter I was on and stopped caring quick
I stopped reading __Everything is Fucked: A Book About Hope _ by Mark Manson because on the 2nd page he went on a tangent about ‘Yeah nazis were bad, but know who were worse than nazis? Soviets’
Actually now that I write that out it seems like a valid reason, just felt fucking absurd to stop reading a book on page 2
