What's your LEAST favourite book?

[Hitokiri Efad]

I read the god damn book. >.>
A play in a book, whatever that garbage is.
O_O

Sorry, I don't mean to double-post, but how can you call Shakespeare "garbage"? Well, I shouldn't sound so angry... after all, I've found that those who don't like his work tend to not know how to read Shakespeare's plays. Yes, there's a certain way to read them.

I feel better now.

Shakespeare isnt all that great.Infact i am quite certain that none of his plays were truely original but i must admit that the way he writes them is quite good.Also I know how to read his plays but i dont really like them all that much.

Anyway the worst set of books that i have read is the 'Harry Potter' series.I cant say whoch one of them is the worst so i have gone with all of them.The only one which entertained me for a brief period of time was the third one.

Bingo! That's why we like Shakespeare, his writing.

My least favorite book? Thats too hard to say, I hated every book that I had read after 7th grade.

 

[Square Ninja]

You haven't read the right books.

 

[LordMune]

I have yet to come across a book I actually hate, or even dislike enough to single out; every book has redeeming qualities- unfortunately. >_>;

 

[Square Ninja]

Even the Bible has redeeming qualities.

 

[LordMune]

Even the Bible has redeeming qualities.

Clever.

 

[Square Ninja]

Clever.

Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to bust out that joke?

 

[Hitokiri Efad]

o_oa that was a joke?

Oh, and anyone who says there isn't anything interesting in the "Classics" hasn't read The Canterbury Tales. It's about as dirty as I've ever read. ^^ Dirty, but hilarious.

Well, it was half a joke and half serious. I have a habit of doing that.

Oh, you must be talking about the Miller's tale. I never read it, but someone has told me it. I did, however, read the Archbishop's tale. I really liked that one, and not because it was just entertaining.

Most people are going to have trouble reading Chaucer's work.

 

[stephaknee]

I didn't like The Pearl by John Steinbeck (I think that was his name. o_o) I wasn't really taken with one book by Charles D ickens. I can't remember the name.. Main characters were Pip, Estalla, Miss Havisham, and the fugitive guy.

Now it's bothering me ._____.;

 

[Hitokiri Efad]

Would that be Great Expectations, perhaps? I've never read it, but I remember hearing about it. If it's anything like David Copperfield, though... >_> I know it was an emotional autobiography that was depressing and all that, but he writes much better when he isn't paid by the word. A Christmas Carol was MUCH better.

 

[evil_kenshin]

my least favioriite book is the quiet american, we were made to read it for english, not one person enjoyed that book in our school

 

[kairi22]

mine is wringer we had to read it in class it is so stupid!

 

[Dark Prince]

Hands down, for me its Dhalgren. I know a lot people like this book, but I found it dense, impenetrable, confusing and boring. I tried to read it 3 times before I was able to read stright through. Delany seemed more interested in how 'literary' he could write then in actually writing a decent story.

 

[ttravenfan1]

i'd have to say... Ramona's World, Mary-Kate and Ashley books, graaah!!! I could go on forever!

 

[TheKitchensink13]

My least favorite book would have to be Lyddie, by Katherine Paterson. I had to read that book for language class and it was dreadful. I didn't follow most of it and the parts I did follow were extremely dull. Most people in the class hated that book.

 

[Enchanted Rose]

Some of Jane Austen's books are truly awful. Pride and Prejudice was good but the others are so similar and bland and sleep inducing. In fact I'd rather be locked in a cupboard for 6 hours than read Persuasion which is to be our new English Lit book. Joy of joys.

 

[Penguin Master]

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. *shudders* It's about a Lithuanian family trying to survive in 1920's-1930's Chicago. They work all over the place, like in a meat processing plant (before the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed...), and Sinclair gives the most vivid, horrible descriptions. It's good, in the sense that it makes you very thankful for your own life, but there wasn't anything happy about that book. I had to read it for 20th Century History class, and my entire class hated it.

Well, that book was writen to shut down those meat procesing plants. And my least favorate was Fast Food Nation.Thankfuly, I didn't have to read the full book.
