What books did you read and you despised them to the core of your being.


Personally I really didn't like Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. Nor do i like much of his other works. He is too long winded and isn't at all good at making a point. Rather boring really.

I also didn't like many of Tad Williams earlier works. But maybe i should reread them.

I'm going to have to say Ethan Frome was absolute poopy. And that may be insulting to poopy.

Digital Fortress was pretty bad as well, what with terminal stupidity being their best feature.

Moby Dick. Worst Book ever. I'll make arguments later if people want them.

The Mists of Avalon.
King Arthur from the female perspective sounded interesting until halfway through the book everyone was in their eighties and nothing happened. That and female authors, or at least most of the ones I have read, focus on sex too much, it just seems useless to have in a story. Didn't need to hear about Gwens threesome with Arthur and Lancelot thank you very much, keep your sex fantasies in bad fanfiction.

Emma, by Jane Austin. Had to read it for a school class.... and abhorred it.

The Scarlet Letter... Never ever again will I deal in that overly detailed preachy piece of gothic lit crap.

I know we have Twilight bashers about. I will not say anything bad about that book, as I actually enjoyed it(even if I make fun of it too ), but Breaking Dawn made me wtf.

I hate Twilight... I suppose I'll make an attempt to avoid the inevitable rant and just leave it at that.

Erm, other books I hated were 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' and... (I know I'll probably get hit for this one) 'The Catcher in the Rye'....

Was I the only once who just wanted to smack Holden frickin' Caulfield upside the head and tell him to shut his whiny face?

I wanted to hit him with somthing hard enough for me to shut his whiny face.
Especially cuz it was only our group that had to read it. The other groups got to read ender's game.

oh owch, enders game is frickin amazing. And his ame is actually Andrew. If I'd read that book when I was younger I woulda totally tried to aquire the name Ender.

yeah. I've read all the books in the series except for the last half of xenosaga and I think there is one more after that. But I read all of the bean series.

I just got done reading ender's game a few weeks ago. Fantastic book.

I'm a few pages into the second one, and I'm not sure what to think at this point. It seems...odd?

its wierd. The bean series is crazy and gets all military but its still cool.

Another book that sucked? The Sword of Shanarra. It was such a terrible rip-off of Lord of the Rings, that I put it down after predicting 3 chapters in a row. Just sucked.

It's the only book that I started and put it down simply because of the shoddy quality or because I had no interest. Otherwise, I read everything I start.

You know what's scary? There are sequels. I still don't understand why I read them. I'm going to claim that I was just young and naive.
