My Distortion My favourite reads are rather boring. Classics (especially Sherlock Holmes and Charles Dickens' works), 120 Days of Sodom, o-Harry Potter and other crime/fantasy/regional myths/horror books I cannot remember.
Actually, that was the first book that came to mind. Some particular parts made me wish I hadn't picked it up but I have a strange fixation with it; I can't say I enjoyed it, but it was fascinating and stuck with me for a long time.

"A fool thinks himself to be wise,
but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." -William Shakespeare What I Think..  There are only some books I don't like.
The Twilight Saga included, being Stephanie Meyer doesn't actually have to knowledge to write a relatively interesting book with a good plot, she decides to take her plots from other books. Twilight is exactly the same as 'Interview with a Vampire' but less sexual and shorter. Twilight may be descriptive and such, but it isn't in a good way. Well, at least I don't want to spend 3 hours reading about how Edwards hair smells. Though I do give Stephanie Meyer credit. She took what all teenagers are into and made a book series directed to a female youth audience about romance and mythical creatures. Every girl wants a boyfriend who is strong and can sweep a girl off of her feet. Her marketing worked well (Books better than movies) because she made the main character Bella so underdeveloped that every Adolescent girl could picture themselves in her place. I, personally found that one of the books faults. The underdeveloped main character being stuck in many situations makes her such a Mary-sue that the plot barely ever becomes interesting. dragging out the same problem with so little backbone never does anything to the plot.
Another book that I didn't grow to like was Life of Pi. For those who don't know, it's about a kid who gets stuck in the middle of the ocean in a life boat with a tiger. I found it dragged on, and the beginning was incredibly challenging to follow. It was definitely better the the Twilight Saga, being an original idea and having many twists in the plot, but I still didn't find a liking to it. I have problems with books that drag on and only have small plot twists once and a while. Other then those problems It wasn't a terrible book. I just know I wouldn't read it again.
At the moment I can't think of any other books I found relatively bad or boring.
"What's in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
-William Shakespeare

Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons.
This book was so... I had to read it for English; worst choice of book ever for English class.

Across Five Aprils. Its a FASCINATING *insert sarcasm here* tale of Illinois potato farmers so riddled with colloquial bad grammar it hurts your sense of language to read. Oddly enough, I had to read it for 8th grade English, probably because it relates to the Revolutionary War.

I didn't particularly like the Twilight series. My friends love it, but I wish I never read those books.

I am really good at forgetting titles of books I hate apparently. Um...There is one about some punk kid, and it is completely pointless story. I forget the name of it right now...shoot. Oh, Catcher in the Rye. I had to Google 'book that makes people go crazy' to figure out the title since I can never remember it.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. A really depressing ending, depressing beginning and middle. I don't want to pay to be depressed. Or even be depressed.
Animal Farm. Seriously? A really depressing book. Mostly about how leaders suck and are all power-hungry. Where's the faith in humanity?
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I honestly loved the other two books but this was pointless book with a pointless ending. I'm just going to pretend it never happened. I have never been more frustrated or saddened by a book before.
Lord of the Flies by William Golding. ...Firstly all the good characters died and then all the ones left turned into monsters. Why the "!$$%& would anyone want to read that? It was $£%%^& depressing, morbid and achingly sad. Still no faith in humanity?! £$%* this book!
In conclusion, books where everyone dies are depressing and I hate them. All of these books I threw at the wall in disgust once I had finished them.
They are all morbid and horrifying and I despise them all.
