Book (only real Litrature, no airport pulp) that you hated the most.

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.

I think readers give Bradbury some license since he contributed a lot to that genre.

You have to be careful with Fahrenheit 451--many issues were heavily abridged and not indicated as such. These copies are way inferior.

I did like Nineteen Eighty-Four better though (I think everyone should read it--and do so before the next presidential election).

Brave New World was not one of my favorites.
