Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok, so we all love books, and we love reading and such...
But come on, there has to be some book that you detest.

My dislike lists:
Summer of the Monkeys?
Anything Thorton Wilder wrote
Six Characters in Search of an Author- Pirendello

I don't like those mind tripping plays!!!!!

I'm sure there's more...but I guess I pushed them out of my mind for a good reason.

I hate "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. Some stupid kid wanders off into the wilderness of Alaska totally unprepared without telling anyone where he's going, and without taking even a freaking map, and this guy treats him like some kind of genius/hero. The kid essentially committed suicide in a death completely worthy of a Darwin award.

I read Summer of the Monkeys in grade school, I was an accelerated reader and we got to read that book instead of some other one. I didn't mind it too horribly.

I hate and can't even finish the rest of it, I'm about halfway through and I can't put myself through the rest of it..

Here it is: The Mists of Avalon

I actually don't entirely mind Leviticus because it's amusing. My friends and I sat around reading it, and every one of us were unclean and two of us were supposed to sacrifice two doves or two pigeons in 8 days. My friend's room needed major disinfecting according to the lubberly Bible

Wow, I loved Heart of Darkness. Then again I was the one who broke the curve back in High School on that one. There was the one genius kid in the class who always broke the curve and he had gotten an 80 on it, so the rest of the class who had received mostly failing grades were excited that their grades would now be almost passing. I got a 96. It was bad.

Hell, I even enjoyed Mists of Avalon. But I can read a book like that in a day or two. As evidenced by The Silmarillion.

What I really hated though was Catcher in the Rye, so much hype for something so mediocre. Gah!

"Tender is the Night" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love the idea behind it, but the execution is so slow, excessively expository, and well, ******** boring.

What, how so many people love the book? I think it's because they can identify with it? I know plenty of people who loved it, but it was written.. how they speak, if that makes any sense. Eh. I thougt it was alright, sort of like a freewritten book. It really had no "box" around it.

I've actually never read Catcher in the Rye and my exboyfriend thinks that's horrible. I think one day I'll read it, but first I NEED to finish the book I'm stuck halfway through (library here I come!) And I also want to read Slaughterhouse 5 first.

My dad tried to read the book and he said it was just 'too weird' I've heard it jumps around a lot in time frames and everything else

Edit: This saddens me, I changed my username to Burkina Faso and I changed one thing in my sig and niether one shows up.
