The Worst Books Ever!

Brianhjh · Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:52 pm Post subject:

Your English teacher forced you to read them because they contributed immense amount to English literature. To Kill a Mockingbird was a wake-up call for people who weren't aware of much of the black civil rights movement that was taking place during the 60's. To see these books well-loved by the majority of readers burn in hell, you have to be in one first.

I actually thought to Kill a Mockingbird was really good...even the movie wasn't that bad.

Man people take things to seriously on this website. The only books that I really hate is Harry Potter, Animal Farm, and Romeo and Juliet. Man I can't belive you thought I was serious. I guess that one dude was right saying that I hate Harry Potter really ticks people off.

The Ropemaker.
My copy of the ropemaker still has tooth-marks in it from where I BIT it in sheer FRUSTRATION at its over-done, frankly dull melodrama.
The Divide is a very very close second XD

Tokyo Underground was the worst manga I've bought in the history of burning manga due to sheer frustation. :ph34r:

What books I hate and the reasons:

Sign of the Beaver:

Reason: It annoyed me to no end. It didn't appeal to my reading genre's I read.

Series of Unfortunate events:

They bore me, I read the first book, got half way through, and gave it to my friend.

Lord of the Rings series:

Reason: I loved the movies, but the books bore me. I'll probably get more into them sooner or later.

The Giver: I read it, but I didn't want to. It was boring...

Books I like:

Oh man.. the list goes on and on.. I personally love reading myself.

The Notebook
Harry Potter Series
Any of the My Side of the Mountain's books
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Too many.. I can't remember.

That would definately be The "Jews' Beech-Tree" (original German title: "Die Judenbuche")

because it's boring, stupid, depressing and completely pointless. The only good thing about it is that it isn't very long.

Cannery Row....::goes into convulsions:: That was the most horrendous, stupid, pointless POS book that I have ever read. There was a random chapter about beavers mating!
And Seperate Peace...although it was much better than Cannery Row...

the stupidest book i ever read was "the tragidy of julious ceasar"

i mean how was that a tragidy?

hate it! i was so freaking happy when i got to the part where they kill ceasar

but even i couldn't enjoy that, i mean look at his last line, "et too? then fall, ceasar" lamest death line ever!

The Tempest from Shakspear was pretty horrible, I'm reading it as my Grade 11 IB English course, but MAN, there's absolutely no climax and foreshadowing, how does people read this stuff?

The Academic English class got MacBeth, bastards.

[b]HARRY POTTER[/b]

I just..hate Harry Potter. I mean, I'm glad it turned an entire generation of kids onto reading, but..the writing is too rigid for me.

Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad (Forgotten Realms Avatar series, book V)

Not that bad of a book, I just strongly dislike the writing style.

"Ancient Future"

I bought it to have something to read in-flight.

Oh, god, the horror. The main character is a 20-ish blonde bombshell with several degree in astrophysics and biocehmistry, a black belt in karate, judo, etc, and a polyglot. She time travels to the past, where it turns out that she heads/trains an elite fighting force composed wholly of women -- it turns out she's some heroine of legend, and creator of martial arts in general. Everyone she meets in the past either falls in love with her, or she whips their ass. She then travels to the future, where, guess what, everyone falls in love with her/she whips their ass. I think she eventually cures cancer and establish world peace (I'm serious).

catcher in the rye.

It was basically a man bitching through the whole book.

The only book I've ever really hated was "A Farewell to Arms". The main character was a jerk, his love interest was a moron, and the author had the writing style of a third grader. I admit, it's literature and had some good symbolism etc, but the storyline was so aggravating.

I also didn't like "Walden" but that was mostly because Thoreau was not a very good writer. He really couldn't grab your attention. Jane Eyre irked me; she was too whiny and the story was just one bad thing after another. Eventually it redeemed itself though. But I actually liked most of the books everyone else here hates...
