Worst Book ever read??

The title explains it all. Please do not mention the books schools require you to read. IMO Narnia: the witch , the lion, and the wardrobe was boring.

Arm of the Starfish

The Bean Trees

why are such crappy books required reading

The Awakening

Oh my god, that book was awful.

Abridged Version:

Women decides she doesent wanna be a mom. She neglects her kids. Decideds she doesent like her husband, cheats on him while hes gone. Then she cheats on the guy she cheating with with another guy (confusing, i know). Then she drownds herself, leaving her kids motherless... :|

Runner-up: The Winter of Our Discontent

I forget the name of it, I think it was called Tangerines or something, but it was so dull and unexciting. The main character is some boy who moved from mexico to america and talks about teen drama which happens to everyone. He probably didn't konw that and wrote a book thinking it was something special.GIJesse77

I'd like to add the catcher in the rye to my list after reading that post.

The Bible.

But in all seriousness, I though it was pretty good. One of the better fiction books. :P

Catcher in the Rye was completely boring most of the time, but a couple parts were pretty funny.

Romeo and Juliet, if that counts as a book. Yes it was a play, but reading it in it's entirety was painful, as is all Shakespeare to me honestly.

lol, that's the lamest excuse for not reading I've ever heard. If you are aware that the books the schools are making you read don't represent the majority of books, than it isn't going to "ruin reading."

School isn't just for facts. School teaches you how to learn, organize, socialize and deal with authority (teacher = boss). You can't get that from Wikipedia. I will admit there are (many) problems with the current system but not having a system isn't going to help.

I didn't like how pretentious the book is. Dawkins is caught up in his own hype. There's better atheist texts out there, such as "Atheist companion guide" and "Atheism in the modern history."

Lol, wow I can't tell if that is a joke or if you are being serious.

Hm.. The Pigman or something like that. I don't remember the books I read that sucked. xD I usually forgot them after I read them. I have to read The Scarlet Letter this year, but I don't know if it'll be any good or not...will just have to wait and see.

"To Build A Fire" by Jack London is the absolute worst piece of literature I have ever had the displeasure of reading. I love reading and am somewhat of an english buff, but wow, this short story sucked. It just rambles on and on and on and on and on. Please, never read it.RoyTheViking

I kind of agree.....usually when there is one of these book threads I post my favorite book (Go Dogs, Go by P.D Eastmen) and people flame me :lol:.......at that point I just ignore them because they obviously have no clue what they are talking about...

You know there's this thing, it's called an opinion and each person has a different one. Get over yourself. Just cause a guy didn't like some book you did he's an illeterate. This kind of elitist BS is what turns people off from reading.
