Old Jan 21st, 2008, 10:18 PM        Books that you did not enjoy reading.
I didn't enjoy reading Catcher in the Rye. The only reason I read it was to see what the hub bub was about. It felt like the only reason the story had curse words in it was to shock people they way many musicians do when they have no actual talent.

Another is The Art and Zen of Motorcycle repair. I enjoyed it up until the middle. The problem was that I feel the same way about life (I was also riding a motorcycle and repairing it) as he did. So it became a waste of time and boring.

I'm wondering what bad experiences people have had with books that are generally liked.

The Kite Runner
The Old Man and the Sea
The Great Gatsby

I however did like Catcher in the Rye and I sure did feel an uncontrollable urge to assassinate someone after I read it

Yeah I wanted to see if I could see why he would shoot Lennon from reading Catcher in the Rye. I couldn't find anything. I wanted to read Old Man and the Sea but I have a feeling I won't like it.

I find Greek plays like the Iliad, the Odyessy, and Antigone mind-numbing as well.

I generally only like satire, and by satirists born in the last 100 years (so you can rule that faggy Ovid out as well ).

I don't like reading Poe. I don't know why. It's good stuff, I'm just not interested in it at this point in my life.

This really crap-tastic fantasy series by Robin Hobb that my ex-boyfriend insisted was the be-all, end-all in fantasy. It was so depressing that I almost slit my wrists afterwards THANKS BOOK LIKE I NEED ANY HELP WITH THAT.
Besides that I was really disappointed with Frankenstein (the book AND the character) but I read Crime and Punishment three times, so maybe I'm just weird.

I've got two:

The Great Gatsby - I didn't get anything out of this book. Wealthy New England honkeys mess with each other. Boring. It could be that the teacher who gave us the book to read was a douche, but we watched the movie, and I still wasn't interested.

Ishmael - It's a book about a talking gorilla. Sounds like a great idea, but the whole book is just the ape proselytizing to some guy who thinks he's super deep. I don't think a single person in my grade enjoyed the book on any level.

I did not enjoy Fat Men From Outer Space. I gave it a whopping C- in my third grade book report. I stand by this decision.

If you drilled a hole in Charles Dickens--not that I am suggesting this--you could let the sap out.

Catch-22 is fantastic.
