Crime and Punishment.
Actualy didnt manage to finish it. The protagonist pissed me off to much with his constant whinning. I dont think it helped that I had just read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Ivan was having a very hard time but did you here him complain. No. He got on with the job and even found time for a smidgen of happiness and satisifaction. Unlike skint moaning axe murdering student, talk about wallowing in self pity. |

There were so many that I can't think of them all. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Actually, they were few and far between...the Iliad (or was it the Odyssey?) springs to mind. 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? Chuck |

I don't know if it's the same part, but I couldn't finish it either... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

Any of those stupid Rabbit books by John Updike.
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Talk about over rated. |

yeah I never got the rabbit books at all. I didn't really like "the tin drum" by gunter grass very much, entertaining in parts but something about it I just didn't get perhaps.

Fahrenheit 451
Total tripe. I don't understand why anyone likes this book... especially when you could read Brave New World or 1984 instead. EDIT: Oh. Also, Edith Wharton. Ugh. |
