i truly despise "obasan" by joy kogawa, and "Fahrenheit 451" has got to be the most boring book i've ever read. had to read both 4 school.

It was long but that is the only thing you can really say bad about it(and that is if you don't like long books).

I didn't like lord of the rings either. The action moved too slowly.
I don't like corny animal stories.
And there are these A-list novels, and those Gossip Girl novel seires things. I think they're kind of shallow, but they do get people who don't usually read to read. So I guess they're ok.

But I'm a bit of a picky reader.

Any corny horse books that my friends are obsessed with.

This one is tough. I think there's only one book I ever truly disliked...and I think I would like it better if I hadn't had to read it in class during marching season.

Les Miserables

But, again, if I ever tried reading it again, I might like it. I don't hate many books. I'm a big time reader.

Hmm, I think most books have their good points and I try to keep that in mind.. But there are a couple I did dislike..

- The Ballad of Lucy Whipple
- Newer Thoroughbred series books (blah)

There are quite a few others that I cannot remember the titles right nowSmile
