ongly the toffs and the yorkshire still speak like it
1984 unbelievably is boring i cant believe it

[freetibet]

1984 starts off pretty slow but picks up about halfway through when he discovers the 'red' underground. Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet are my favourites. As for most boring pride and prejudice looks dull and how anyone can read all of the romance of the three kingdoms ill never know. There was another uber-boring book i studied back in the day, but ive forgotten its name. The kind of book in which i saw no redeeming features and was actually having to make up good things to say about it.

A Separate Peace by John Knowles. If there was a choice between read it again or die...i'd probably read it again, but i would complain the whole time!
Dull!!!!!!

[Nixton V]

I was extremely dissapointed with it. At least I got credit on it, even when I dropped the class.  But yeah, it goes through so much just to push you off a cliff at the end. I hated that book!

That's strange... I thought it was by Stephen King.

No, but seriously. The most boring book I've ever read must've been any book from the Bartimaeus Triology. The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, or Ptolemy's Gate. Ever heard of those books? My family likes them, but I don't.

mein kampf, written by... you know who.

i thought that the book would have been interesting to read, kinda like, "taking a peek inside the mind of a madman", especially what he had to say regarding "inferior races", (no, i'm not antisemite, what i mean is, who could beleive such garbage !?!    ) but was i ever so wrong!!! the book is way too boring, the guy formulates his sentences in a way that makes it too complicated to follow what he was trying to say... it is that bad... and most of the subjects are of no interest whatsoever. pretty much all about what he'd do for the revival of a " greater germany"...  then again, i haven't read it in a long time, so i might be forgetting a few things...
delusions of grandeur, rantings of a self-proclaimed, god-enlightened, shy, suffering from the napoleonic complex, hero of the master race. nothing more. whatever. i mean, he was austrian, for god sakes!!!    he was truly a f***ed up bag of mixed emotions.

and since he was a patological liar, we'll never know if what happened in is youth was true, even in the slightest. because, in the book, of course, he always gave himself the noble, rightous role... 

when they put him in power, it was like the little, "evil" kid in the neighborhood who just discovered what he could do with a magnifying glass and a few ants...   

he was so full of himself (and s***) that he actually believed everything that was in there(the book)... such bull****... to think that every newlywed couples were given a copy of that book...     


sorry for the language, and the ranting, it won't happen again...  it gets to me everytime...

x men vs star trek books l thaught geek heven no l was wrong

[jal11180]

Here are some books that totally suck:
1984 -self-fulfilling prophecy/New World Order promoting mantra
Animal Farm - see previous
Anything else by George Orwell (the smug, egotistical jerk with a Napoleon complex)
Wuthering Heights and any other pretentious, fake as a  star crap by the Bronte sisters.  (The bottom line is that their sentences do not make sense, they can not relate to the common person, and their characters are WAY too one dimensional.)
Any Beverly Lewis books
Any Janette Oke books
Any Harlequin or Harlequin-like romance novels (I am sorry, but romance books these days are pretty much either  in paperback or religiously ritualistic, i.e., like Janette Oke and Beverly Lewis.  Sometimes, I wonder if hell is made up of books like theirs instead of fire and brimstone and Satan and his minions.)
As for Jane Austen, I have no real opinion of her books at this time.)

Here are some books that do not suck:

The Holy Bible (Yes, I know, but it does at least make for some good RPG material and the conflicts between the Israelites and various other nations would also make for a killer franchise similar to the Warriors games.  I can easily see Deborah as kind of a Zhuge Liang of her time or even the prototype for Sun Tzu, too.)

This Present Darkness/Piercing the Darkness by Frank E. Peretti (Sure, some parts of these books are incomplete and badly formed but the fight scenes between the angels and demons are almost as sweet as you would find in the Gundam or Dragon Ball series.  These books are also itching to be made into a Warriors-styled game, too.)

The Bourne series by Robert Ludlum and Eric van Lustbader (Sure, the Lustbader novels are not as well done as the Ludlum novels but they are still good books nonetheless.)

The Scarlet Pimpernel (and not Pumpernickel) by Baronness Orczy  (This book is almost as funny as the parody that was done to it by Daffy Duck.  One could also argue that it is also a parody of the Zorro stories, too.)

I usually am interested in whatever I am reading but when a book begins to go too far into fact, fact, fact, fact, I eventually get sleepy, which is good because it helps me sleep at night. Not so helpful in class.
