Can’t Hurt Me.... I recommend the Audible version, as there is hours of dialogue between the author and his ghost writer that greatly enhances the story.

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
