Most annoying book of all time (5 Viewers)

[Sarebs]

Huckleberry Finn was an annoying read. Mainly because I was forced to read it in a day or two.

This! Minus the day or two bit, I had ages to read it.

I think that The Da Vinci Code is breeding socially acceptible hate... The author's next book is "exposing the truth" about the Freemasons.

the next book he just did was "the lost symbol", yeah its about freemasonry but it is very well written and researched. i bought it when it came out, absolutely loved it, but not as good as "angels and demons"

Also screw whoever said that, Huck Finn is awesome.

Bible, Torah, Quran, Maharabta, other religous texts

Fail. The Torah (Old Testament) is part of the Bible.

Romulus, My Father

Really, I thought that it was a really good memoir. Probably a bit overdone on the concept of belonging though.

Most annoying books:

-Pride and Prejudice
-V for Vendetta

Mrs. Cherry, unfortunately I am one who has never had the constitution for Dickens. It must also be said, that whilst Mr Dickens' prose is dreary, Mrs Austen's critique of 19th century paradigms is neither insightful nor intelligent. In fact, if I may be so bold, I would say that her writing is utter tripe.

Also, NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE UNFORTUNATE LIVES OF WEALTHY GIRLS WHO HAVE TO MARRY PEOPLE THAT THEY DONT LOVE. Shit, those Victorians struggled to come up with anything else to write about.

The only "OMG VICTORIAN MARITAL PARADIGMS SUCK" book/play/poem that is worth reading is the Importance of Being Earnest.

Firstly, Miss Austen -not Mrs Austen as she was never married- was Edwardian, not Victorian-get it right.
And secondly,the whole point of the novels are that the girls are not wealthy, but they still have enough dignity that they marry for love, which makes Elizabeth and Jane Bennet, and the Dashwoods, and Fanny some of the first feminist characters

Oh really? Cool. Still painful as hell though.

Finnegans Wake.

I know it's meant to be the greatest piece of literature ever written, but still...

I read that in year 7 and understood none of it but it made my english teachers love me.

I hated reading Deadly, Unna? and I hated Dracula.
