pop-science/pop-history that doesn't actually give you any more meaningful understanding of the field than a wikipedia article, especially if it involves cosmology or WWII
any humorist that can be considered off-brand and "quirky" without actual transgression, bonus points for Britons
historical fiction that anachronistically champions contemporary sociopolitical values
historical fiction that exaggerates the gulf between historic and contemporary sociopolitical values
anything related to the "great man theory"
self-help
any book that starts with a witty or one-word title
any book that is lavishly bound in pleather and paint from china
space operas
any book where the protagonist resembles Ender from Ender's Game in any shape or form
any book where the author's name is bigger than the book's title
any book whose cover is focused on a single item, like an apple, an eye, a crown, a sword, a gun, a crime-scene, etc.
"Game Of Thrones", "Pillars of the Earth" "Stiffs", "A Brief History of Time", "The Wheel of Time" "Discworld" and "You Are Not So Smart" are good starting points, good luck desu

le hitchhiker's guide to astronomy xd
>"the girl with the lower back tattoo"
that is a painfully bad title. it's not even a good book, and she probably hasn't even read the it. just referencing it because it sounds like she's smart for doing so. i know it's easy to shit on amy schumer but man that's really bad

Pratchett is really good though.

Blood Meridian? I've seen that on reddit a few times.
It scares me that I'm kinda intrigued by this
>tfw nobody cares about Le Vicomte de Bragelonne
I don't understand why redditors do this. Someone giving you gold doesn't translate into anything meaningful for you personally. Like I get that it's a knd of validation but it's so weird how they all have to make an acceptance speech everytime someone pays reddit a few bucks to put a gold star next to their opinion
Good Omens
Tfw you enjoyed Pillars of the Earth
>any book where the author's name is bigger than the book's title
Pratchett's a cool guy desu
