What are some of the worst books you have ever read?

me too. :cheers2: we studied it at school and ive re read it since.

a mid summer nights dream is a bag of crap imo.

 

I will try not to shoot you.

 

was it something i said?

 

I forgot that overrated predictable wanker Paul Coelho.

Anything by him.

 

the great gatsby
farenheit 451
catcher in the rye
everything i've read by steinbeck
everything i've read by dickens, save a tale of two cities
most philosophy books i've read

 

Try not to fuck with Shakespeare.

I've only read "The Alchemist" so far.. Twice actually, both times for school. Was crazy about it the first time (I was 12-13), the second time was about a year ago and the best way to describe my feelings would be

 

Hmm, I recently bought this since I completely fell in love with "Tender Is The Night" and also enjoyed the Benjamin Button short story.

It's next on my to-read list.

 

Exactly.

 

most gertrude stien books didn't like those, didn't like the giver wasn't fond of the lost soul either.

 

Anything by Texe Marrs. What annoys is that people eats his material up like candy and do not ask a single question. If you do, you are seen as a brainwashed sheep. It is blasphemy to question him. Plus, the Christian bias really gets irritating after a while.

Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper. See above

The Bible. Murder, cruely, sexism, incest, pedophilia, tyranny, homophobia, racism, scapegoating, intolerance, anti-intellectualism, and a strong distaste for individuality. All in one book that people follow and, often, follow blindly. Lovely.

The Quran. See above.

The Torah. See The Bible

Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin. I did not get too far, but I put it down in disgust after a few pages in. Sarah Palin is, to me, is a fascist phony and only wants power.

The Synagogue of Satan by Andrew Hitchcock. See Texe Marrs

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Obvious. Also, the prose makes me sick.

Germany Must Perish by Theodore N. Kaufman. Hateful, gives a bad name to Jews (I'm not Jewish, btw), and it demonizes Germans. The impact it had in Germany and the amount of innocent lives lost because of it is enough for me to hate this book. This man's book is one of the fuels that contributed to the Holocaust. Despicable, horrible, cruel, and mean-spirited.

Sorry if that sounded angry. I'm calm now.

 

Catcher and the rye.. It had ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with a baseball player and bread.

 

Catcher in the Rye, Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
