I feel you there! Man, I love those B&N covers, damn.

(...I wouldn't mind a copy of Sunshine with a cover like that...)

Sunshine! Ah, I love Sunshine. And you'd better believe I'd snatch up a lovely B&N version posthaste.

Now the irony would be if the book that you feel is "shitty" isn't the obvious one.

Yeah, it'd be hilarious of the OP wasn't talking about Poe! But seriously, who'd like that guy -- marrying his kid cousin and writing poems about talkin' ravens and shit. Also, did you see that movie with Val Kilmer? I REST MY CASE.

Well done.

I was just going to say hey, not all of Grimms' fairy tales are shitty.

You guys are making me so happy.

this is what i was thinking. but, of course, the 'obviosly shtty' book isn't actually obvious, is it. it's very subjective.

At least it wasn't Twilight.

At first I was like, why do you hate Edgar Allen Poe's poetry? And fairy tales work with that pretty cover style. Then I read the middle one and was like, "Ohhh okay I get the secret now."

i agree op, poe is terrible and i don't understand why he's considered a classic author

Now we FIGHT! *brandishes knife*

Same reason Tolkien, Asimov and Shakespeare rule their respective roosts. They were first to do certain things in their genre/medium. They can stand on their own merit otherwise anyway, to varying subjective extents, but never underestimate the power of FIRST!

I agree but I think you've accidentally posted an unrelated picture??? Probably would have worked better if you had found an example of some books with actual good covers

(gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh those covers. I do not care for them. not one bit.)

I feel like you win just for disagreeing about the covers rather than saying which book you think is the shitty one.

I don't like a lot of the books from that collection, thank you. That said, my Narnia compilation is GORGEOUS but the other ones I see there are sometimes not so great.

I for one think all book covers deserve to be pretty regardless of their content. More illuminated manuscript plz.

I also don't judge anyone for not separating and organizing their books according to your taste.

yep, agreed on both points

holy crap I want that poe book

I have it. It's lovely.

You and me both, OP. What a waste of paper/design. :p

Isn't that how a lot of shitty books have BECOME 'classics'?

*sings* One of these things is not like the other...

Yeah, fuck Poe.
