    I had a book not too long ago that I was really looking forward to reading. It was written by a guy I didn’t know very well at the time, but it’s a sci-fi novel using the park all us freak kids hung out in back in the 90s as the setting and featuring one of the very odd mentally ill people that came to the park who used to be sort of a mascot.

    This is a professionally published book, not something from a vanity press.

    After the fifth punctuation error, the second of two on that page, I put down the book without getting past chapter four.

    It made me twitch too much.
