Tess of the D'Urbervilles

Just plain bad.

The Age of Innoncence

P.S. C&P rules, you should have finished it. I don't believe Raskolnikov was meant as a role model.

It's funny but when I was in college my Mom gave me a copy
of Travels with Charley and I could not get through it.

Recently, while on a business trip, I picked up a copy and loved every word of it.

Must have been a revision. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm a big Steinbeck fan, with the exception of Travels with Charlie. Didn't care for it.

I hate Toni Morrison with a passion. I find the writing both boring and offensive at the same time.

I told my English teacher that forced me to read TM how much TM absolutely sucked. The teacher was very offended.

On a related note, I've read Atlas Shrugged several times, but there is this part in the middle that I've never been able to get through. I wonder how many of you have had the same experience with this book?

The fifty-page (or thereabouts) Galt speech near the end was a bit much, but I loved the book.

Don DeLiLLO, Cosmopolis

Plain boring. Only good thing is that it´s not too thick.

I liked Crime and Punishment, although the Brothers Karamazov is the book worth reading if you want to read Dostoevsky. None of his other books are in the same league.

My most hated was Milton's Paradise Lost.

I also hated the Grapes of Wrath and the Red Badge of Courge but both were already mentioned.
