The Da Vinci Code.
...I'll add Digital Fortess, aka Lord of the Rings: Return of the Hackers, (or whatever it's called) to the list.
AND ALICE IN WONDERLAND!:crying: PLEASE NO MORE!
Yeah digital fortress was pretty lame, and the Celestine prophecy by James Radfield, badly written hippy rubbish
The God of Small Things. The way they spoke about this book you'd have thought it smurfing brilliance or something. Maybe I missed that, but I didn't miss the fact that it was depressing as hell. Made me feel like life is a vale of tears. No thanks.
Memoirs of a Geisha. Hated it. Hated all the characters. The story was so Point A to Point B that it was unbelievable. It tried to sound wise and meaningful, and that was the worst part; nothing in there really meant anything to me. Sue me for not being a geisha, but hey, don't try it if you can't do it, Mr. Golden. The end of the book made me feel all :{ because it'd taken me a few hundred pages to read what could have been said in a less pretentious manner in ten.
Saving Fish From Drowing by Amy Tan. It was so awful I couldn't even get beyond the halfway point, and that is a bad, bad thing. I hate it when authors become all pretentious and grandiloquent, using long words and spouting the so-called philosophy of life, trying to get something meaningful out of it. No. Shut up. It's rubbish. This book was a load of tosh.
Feeling sufficiently vindicated now :D But honestly.
Jane Eyre. Forced to read it in year 8, had it overanalysed to the point of insanity. :(
Or maybe Sophie's World. A nice concept, but SO SO BORING. Highly overrated, imo.
You'll never imagine it, but To Kill A Mockingbird bored me to oblivion. The use of the word "nigger" was amazingly constant. It was quite a disappointing book to someone who looked towards it to be a fascinating adventure.
Oh, errm...
Tarka the Otter - An actual plot would've been nice...
Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland - No. Just... no.
The Body (Fall from Innocence) - Right Mr. King, try and finish the main story first before you plunge us into a different story altogether thereby causing me to get confused and completely lose interest in what I'm sure is a great story because I've seen that film and liked it quite a lot actually.
EDIT:
Well, it was set in the America Deep South in the 1930s. :)Quote:

Seconded. The Narative of Sojurner Truth topped the list for me, though. Most sucky books I don't read past the first chapter, so I actually can't think of any others at the moment. I'll post them when the repression fails.Quote:

The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne is so awful.
Oh my god I am reading that now I feel sad at having to get past the introductory. ;___;Quote:

Of Mice and Men was an alright book in school, but after we analysed the hell out of it, it got kinda boring.
