Mistakes Within Books You've Read?

Forgive me if there is already a thread like this.

Has anyone ever run across any type of error in a book they've read? It could be a lot of typos, it could be a true story/biography that an author doesn't have their facts straight in. Anything. So has anyone run across a big error that's gotten you thinking? I haven't, but I'm just curious.

Russell Brand makes a reference in his autobiography to Veruca Salt and her turning into a blueberry when in fact it's that Violet chick. Oh, that's to do with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...

In my copies of Gri Tuesday (I got coke on one and it went mouldy D: ) the Grim wasn't in the story at that point and the heroes of the book had just set about foiling him, were planning the Getaway and my copies said:

"We can't let the Grim find out!" Said the Grim

I was just like when the hell did he get there? ._.

In a lot of Katie Price novels, words are repeated and bad grammar/spelling is used.

It pisses me off to see that in a published book. Must have had bad editors.

According to one of my friends, Harry Potter has many typos. Now whether she's right or not, I'm not sure.

^There are actually a lot of mistakes in Harry Potter. Here's a link to a list.

Yeah...I never really notice things like that...

I find a lot of typos, and there are a few books that I've read that have factual errors but I can't really think of any.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle kept forgetting where Watson got shot.

In our English Lit class, when we read Antony and Cleopatra half the books had one line listed as Charmian and the others as someone else

Oh and the Gunsliner Roland's donkey morphs into a mule and it says Cuthbert and Jamie were his friends in Gilead in some editions but when you read about his life in Gilead after that point its always Bert and Alain.

Throughout the Dark Tower series the wood of Roland's guns changes between Sandalwood and Ironwood.

And in the second Dark Tower book Eddie's age changes from 21 to 23.

Roland's fathers name also changed from Roland the Elder to Steven and was only corrected in the revised editions.

In several books I've read characters lice are jumping when lice can't jump.

My favourite book error is in one chapter of the Dark Tower (not sure which edition or which book, I have multiple ones) and the character with no lower legs leaps to her feet

LMFAO. I laughed out loud at that xD Leaps to her feet.

From Wrath of a Mad God y Raymond E Feist
I haven’t read this book yet but apparently there’s a few continuity errors according to wikipedia.
In the authors defence there are like hundreds of characters and little details in the 15-20 odd books but really, some of these two are just silly:

The character of Erik von Darkmoor is said to have never married. He married a character named Kitty like, seven books before this one. Feist claims they didn’t remain married because of the circumstance, I personally think it’s a bad excuse

In one of the earlier books, the character Tomas fights alongside Kaspar. When Kaspar speaks to Jim in this book he claims that he only knows Tomas by reputation.

I was contemplating reading this tonight which is why I came across these

edit;

More continuity in Feist’s books:

In Magician, his first novel, Lord Borric is given control of the armies of the west, Lord Brucal is second in command. When he revisited the same period in a connected story it was the other way around.

In The Pact by Jodi Picoult I noticed two mistakes.

When Chris goes to jail in November his sister is twelve but in February she celebrates her fifteenth birthday.

In May when they have a trial, everyone says that Chris has been in jail for seven months but November - May is only six months.

Jacob Hunt.:

When Chris goes to jail in November his sister is twelve but in February she celebrates her fifteenth birthday.

Whoa, yeah, that's definitely a mistake!

Between The Dark Half and Neeful Things the names of one of Alan Pangborn's children changes from Toby to Al.

Also between Cujo and Needful Things King seems to confuse alot of the dates of when the dog went mad.

In The Stand, Nick Andros judges he broke someones nose because it made a smashing noise. Nick's deaf

Yeah of course. But it's nothing too serious. Just something like a letter taken off of an extra letter, a mispelling but it's rare.

But book errors are very understandable especially when you have a very long story. I would know because one of my stories is 306 plus Microsoft word document pages and sometimes I forget which characters do what, who did this or that, when something happened. I have to look back into earlier writings sometimes. It's really hard to keep track and remember especially when you have other more important things to remember. Even when I take notes they sometimes get misplaced or destroyed. And really, who the hell wants to read over 306 plus word document pages? I have way more important things to do and I don't have the time to do that.

In The Shawshank Redemption, a character sees a light go on upstairs in a bungalow

edit; I'm checking the overalls one in the Shawshank Redemption tonight because I don't remember seeing it, my sister just mentioned it

^ haha, that's a funny one.

Oh and again in The Stand, Nick finds his world taken over by screeching breaks when he's thrown infront of a car. As mentioned above, Nick's deaf.

In Pet Sematary there's a bit where Lois looks over at Rachel's bed to find its empty. The night before when they went to bed, they were in the same bed

I've seen grammatical and spelling errors in my school textbooks and Stephanie Meyer's books.
