Nominate one per post.

Emma by Jane Austen

[Leanne]

Most hated? Wuthering Heights by that Bronte bitch.

[Leanne]

Least worthy of ever picking up and bothering to turn a page?

No prizes for guessing The Da Vinci Code

Someone recently tried to get me to read THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins. Against my better judgement, I gave it a shot. I didn't make it past page 6. Horrible style.

Robinson Crusoe

Starts out okay but a third of the way through I'm so fucking tired if hearing every little detail about how he fashions bark into shoes and makes mortar out of pig shit and maple leaves that I could scream! TMI Defoe TMI

Uncle Tom's Cabin for me. Back in my high school years, I had to read this and write an essay comparing this to Nineteen Eighty-Four. Boy was it boring. Nineteen Eighty-Four was great, but for UTC, I skipped 200 pages so I can go the end.

It's not that I didn't like the theme, it's just that it was... boring.

Oh come now, her sister's Jane Eyre was much worse

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Had to read that for summer reading my freshman year, and our whole class just wanted to set it on fire.

haha I don't blame you, Ms. Kate. Could characters be any more unsubtle than they are in Dickens?

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

I watched 5 seasons of Dexter before I decided to read Jeff Lindsay's books: the source of the show. I tried to remember that they were the original text, but I kept comparing the books to the TV show and ended up giving up in book 2 (there are four).
