Anything by Steinbeck (flame away) or Toni Morrison (I would actually get expelled from school for admitting this).

anything with the words tis and wence in it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].i usually read 1-2 books a week(air port pulp) so i love reading but i dont see how you can get into a book thats almost in another language. its like trying to read the bible straight through for entertainment.

the book of revelations was entertaining though.

Grapes of Wrath.... i can't understand how anyone can get past the first few chapters of that book. Soporific would be a perfect word to describe that novel.

I hated Grapes of Wrath but I loved Of Mice & Men. Lenny is such a retard.

But thats another topic.

The Catcher in the Rye never did it for me, even back when I was younger. I can't say I hated it, but everyone seemed to make such a big deal about it.

I love Dostoyevsky and Crime and Punishment in particular.

[/ QUOTE ] damn, her writing style is crazy man. I had a hard time reading Jazz, but I liked her descriptions of the envirmoments. Her dialogue left much to be desired though.

The Burn, by Vasily Aksyonov.

What crap. Really annoying device which had several different timelines all happening concurrently and blah blah blah.

I could have lived without The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon. THE PULITZER PRIZE?????!! WHAT???!

I guess I'll throw in A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, by Dave Eggers. Everyone said it was great. Everyone said I'd be glad I took their advice.

They were wrong. Everyone was wrong, so wrong.

Jane Eyre.

I majored in English in college, so I read a lot of things that I didn't like, but this one stands out. I think it was like 3782 pages of really small print, and all I remember is that somebody went blind. Yes, I read the whole damn thing.
