<p>Oh, I see. That’s usually what I do in my school papers, haha.</p>
<p>The one book that I can honestly say I read a little bit of and just couldn’t bring myself to open again was Heart of Darkness. I don’t remember who wrote it or anything, all I remember is that it was awful.</p>
<p>And I can definitely feel for you when you say you got infatuated with the characters in twilight. It is such easy reading with pretty good characterization (which I’m a sucker for in books/tv shows/movies), even if it is kind of lame to admit it. The movie ruined the magic of the books for me though.</p>
<p>idk, personally I dodn’t like animal farm because I felt like it was just trying to shove down the themes at your face-just like the pearl did. but i can appreciate animal farm, i just didn’t particularly like it at all. oh, and i thought old man and the sea is a horrible pointless book.</p>
<p>I really loved “The Da Vinci Code”, but I thought Dan Brown was a terrible writer. Seriously. I think Dickens needs to take Creative Writing 101. My calculus textbook has a stronger plot than “Great Expectations”. Other than that, I don’t read books that suck. isn’t that what sparknotes is for?</p>
<p>ugh, this reminds me, i have to read the remaining 9/10 of Hamlet.
either actually reading the whole thing or ap studying : )
the first 10 or so pages were okay, though :/</p>
<p>Part of the reason I don’t like Twilight (other than the non-existent plot and bad writing) is that I absolutely CAN NOT stand the characters…I mean Edward is like some sort of masochistic stalker, and Bella is a Mary-Sue who has to always have a man save her and the only thing she can do is cook (and she is quite whiny as well). </p>
<p>haha I just felt the need to bash Twilight, again :p. Don’t even let me get started on Eragon…</p>
<p>
Lulllz, I read Eragon and was joking about how similar to Star Wars it was. I never read the second book. So I say jokingly, “In the next book, it turns out the other guy was actually his father!” (I said the actual names though, don’t remember them now). And my friend gets ****ed off at me for spoiling it to someone else! Apparently that actually happens in the book!</p>
<p>not only did he steal the plot from Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, his writing is absolute crap. I don’t care how young he was, stuff like that shouldn’t ever be published. Yeah and I agree, his plot is just sooo overdone, and obvious.</p>
<p>And of course, its a NY times bestseller (I guess I’m part to blame though, because I mistakenly bought a copy of the 1st book). Eragon= bad, cliche filled writing.</p>
<p>Hmm…I feel quite good about ranting :p</p>
<p>
Do not use the Lord’s name in vain.</p>
<p>I started Eragon on three separate occasions. Didn’t finish during any one. </p>
<p>And I thought it was just me.</p>
<p>“Bella is a Mary-Sue who has to always have a man save her and the only thing she can do is cook (and she is quite whiny as well).”
…&…i agree with that. meyer could have made her character so much better. i can rant about her all day, for real.</p>
<p>Fahrenheit 451 was lame. I couldn’t understand it at all when it was mandatory summer reading before 7th grade.</p>
<p>The Crucible sucked, too.</p>
<p>And so did Macbeth.</p>
<p>I’ve only heard good things about Fahrenheit 451, but The Crucible was only boring because I had to read it in AP English 11. </p>
<p>As for Hamlet: No. I just say “NO” to that book. Or play.</p>
<p>i freaking hated the crucible! great writing and thematic material, but i wanted abigail to materialize so i could punch her in the face!!!</p>
<p>Agreed. Abigail is the Queen of Skanks!</p>
<p>I second Pride and Prejudice! (And I’m a girl, too.)</p>
<p>And I like to sum up Twilight like this: it is not good, just addicting.</p>
<p>^defylegacy= agreed!</p>
<p>In Cold Blood was possibly the worst book that ever touched my fingers. It took me about 2 weeks to drag myself through 20 pages, and I finally gave up and forced myself to get through the agony of reading it on sparknotes.</p>
<p>Worst books ever:</p>
<p>House of the Spirits
The Awakening
The Poisonwood Bible
Like Water for Chocolate
To Kill a Mockingbird
L’Attentat
Suite Francaise</p>
<p>eww the awakening, its okay in one sitting but in parts it, rots your brain from the inside out</p>
<p>i liked the ending though! very symbolic =)</p>
