<p>I couldn’t stand the book at all. It was so boring. I was happy that the main character committed suicide. I got sick of her complaining about nothing the entire time.</p>
<p>The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers
My Antonia by Willa Cather</p>
<p>So pointless. Also, Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld was required summer reading one year and that was TERRIBLE.</p>
<p>@ sev1991</p>
<p>me too! Wuthering Heights is the only book I haven’t finished! it was seriously boring.</p>
<p>aaah pretty_vacant, you can’t just do that! 
I thought these books were great:</p>
<p>House of the Spirits
The Poisonwood Bible
Like Water for Chocolate
To Kill a Mockingbird</p>
<p>and Fahrenheit 451 was pretty good, as well</p>
<p>not to mention Hamlet! Shakespeare is never bad :)</p>
<p>and I’ll add Pride and Prejudice to my list of terrible books as well :)</p>
<p>Does anyone else seem to think Les Miserables was boring as well?
Don’t even get me started on All Quiet On the Western Front.
Pretty much EVERYTHING I’m required to read bores me to tears.</p>
<p>I actually really enjoyed The Scarlet Letter.</p>
<p>Dante’s Inferno, Antigone, and the Orestia Triology were awful IMO.</p>
<p>Worst Books:</p>
<p>The Good Earth - I give two ****s about concubines -_-</p>
<p>Fast Food Nation - How is one dedicated enough to go around America and learn about fast food. The whole time I read this book I though about some guy wearing a cowboy hat traveling in a pickup truck in a very rural area, all while some banjo is playing in the background. Bad book is bad.</p>
<p>Frankenstein - Who cares about this monster. It’s a waste of time.</p>
<p>Sophie’s World - Probably should be on the top, but Fast Food Nation beats it. This book has a ■■■■■■■■ plot twist. But the main reason I hated it was because it had too much to do with philosophers.</p>
<p>I liked Frankenstein. Originally, I didn’t. But I really like the pro-Romanticism aspect that Shelley was making.</p>
<p>Basically it was…</p>
<p>Science + Obsession = BAD.</p>
<p>Family + Nature = YAY!</p>
<p>Everything SHakespeare writes frustrates me. The dialogue is so wordy to the point where it becomes unrealistic</p>
<p>If you guys think that these books are boring, you obviously haven’t read Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett (technically a play). In the entire course of the thing, Beckett tries to convey how pointless human life is by putting on a show in which LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS. Plot summary: Two men wait by a tree for Godot. He never comes. THE END.</p>
<p>That’s BRILLIANT!</p>
<p>the book ‘Of mice and men’ and ‘the old man and the sea’ by steinbeck… all of his books suck</p>
<p>Diary of Anne Frank was soo boring I could care less about her complaining</p>
<p>Raisin in the sun was by far the worst book i’ve ever read…</p>
<p>it was entirely focused on a check</p>
<p>Oh no! I have to read of mice and men over my break. I’m not sure I want to now after hearing the reviews :O</p>
<p>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!! Torture! Yuck.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Trollan gaems?</p>
<p>Basically anything in AP English? Some of the worst include:
“Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl”
“Pride and Prejudice”
“Tropical Gangsters, OMEWDADIWA”
“Doctor Zhivago”</p>
<p>I freaking LOVED Othello. One of the best plays ever.</p>
<p>@ pinkstarcloud: yeah, I agree Les miserables was boring. Like whole chapters would not even have to do with the plot of the book and would skip to some random history stuff. Never finished it.</p>
<p>You know what I’ve noticed? I can finish the classic books that were originally written in English (Pride+ Prejudice, Great Expecatations, etc.) but I have yet to finish a single classic that has been translated from a foreign language. From the pattern I have, I’m not even going to attempt War& Peace, or Hunchback of Notre Dame. Anybody else have the same problem with not being able to read translated books?</p>
