"On Walden Pond"..oh jesus do I hate that book. I normally hate any book that I'm "assigned" to read, but this was adding insult to injury.
and
I defy anyone to tell me they've read "The Fable" by "Stream of Conciousness","I think I'll write ten pages without any punctuation at all because I really suck at it anyway" Theroux.

Posted by Soldat222 The Lovely Bones blew

I thought it was ok, but horribly depressing.

Anna Karenina and Wuthering Heights..fuck..two of the most boring books in my opinion. Had to read them for Grade 13 English and I wanted to shoot myself. Never could get into them.

Correction on author of "The Fable"..... it was Fuckner.

Wuthering Heights was an unreadable clusterfuck. How on Earth is that considered a "classic"? I had to read that in 12th grade, got halfway through, and say "To hell with it, I'll take a lower grade on this".

Also, I'm probably gonna come off as an uncultured swine for these, but:

A Tale of Two Cities
To Kill A Mockingbird (I couldn't even stay awake for the movie, and couldn't get past the second chapter of the book)
Great Expectations (What a misleading title)

Hate doesn't even begin to describe my feelings on those.

I care little for to kill a mockingbird

Read the short story called "The Lady With the Pet Dog" recently for class. Hated it.

two books from high school;

Summer of my German Soldier
Who Has Seen The Wind

Posted by neX_ two books from high school; Summer of my German Soldier Who Has Seen The Wind

There need to be more male high school English teachers so stuff like this won't be taught so much, and cooler stuff will be taught instead.

I read Wally Lambs 'The Hour I First Believed' last summer, and I found it one of the most depressing books ever. I don't even know why I kept reading it, it made me angry and sad everything that happened. Though if you read it when a lot of crappy things are going on in your own life, you might actually feel like things aren't that bad (which is probably the only reason I finished it).

Though hate is a strong word, and I probably don't actually hate the book, but FUCK ME GENTLY was it a horrid read.

Pride And Prejudice.

Fuck that book.

I literally hate anything by J. R. R. Tolkien, I love fantasy but this gets to be a bit much. In The Hobbit, I was like 5 chapters in and he was still describing the meadow of which Bilbo lived in. I was bored to tears.

Also, Gone with the Wind. I tried to read it for school and same issue, all he talked about for several chapters was how frumpy looking Scarlet's mom is.

Ulysses.

And 1984 is amazing. Brave New World by Huxley is the one I thought sucked balls.

It's funny to see Summer of My German Soldier mentioned a few times. I had to read that in school too, and it was undoubtedly the worst book I was ever assigned. I had completely forgotten about it until now, you bastards.

Anything by a Bronte sister, Steinbeck, or Jane Austen.


I could go on and on about political commentary, but instead I'll say this: Animal Farm is the wrong way to do it, and Brave New World is the right way. I loved the latter.

I burned my copy of Left For Dead tonight. It felt real good.

Fifty Shades of Grey. If you thought twilight shouldn't have been published, then this piece of trash shouldn't be.
I loved 1984, but found Brave New world to be dry, slow, and... kinda boring compared to Orwell's book. And Fahrenheit 451 is a step down from both literary wise.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I just don't know where to begin.

Anne Rice books suck. I do admit I liked her first book (Interview) but her later books - ugh. Who the hell writes about going down on menstruating women? Anne Rice, that's who.

Posted by Mr. Dork Fifty Shades of Grey. If you thought twilight shouldn't have been published, then this piece of trash shouldn't be.

I read the first Fifty Shades book because so many people told me how "kinky" it was.

I got really tired of hearing about that dippy bitch's "inner goddess" by about the 3rd chapter. Unreadable tripe (and it really wasn't THAT risque).

I liked 1984 and Animal Farm. Also, whoever said no to Steinbeck... really? I mean, Cannery Row and East of Eden were "meh" to me, but I really loved Of Mice and Men and The Pearl.
