What is the worst, crappiest book you absolutely love?

Question

Guilty pleasure, trash-reading, anyone? =0)

(Valley of the Dolls)

Answer 1

The Little White Horse, by Elizabeth Goudge. It's a children's book from1946, and it's so overwritten its hilarious. But I loved it as a kid, and I still pick it up from time to time. Incidentally, it was also JK Rowling's favorite book as a child, which makes me feel a little better.

"The boots she had on today were calculated to raise the lowest spirits, for they were made of the softest grey leather, sewn with crystal beads round the tops, and were lined with snow-white lamb's-wool. The crystal beads, as it happened, could not be seen...but she herself knew they were there, and the thought of them gave her a moral strength that can scarcely be overestimated."

The whole book goes on like that.

Answer 2

The Da Vinci Code

Answer 3

Most of what I read would be considered crappy! I don't care for lit-rah-chure.

This is a tough one to pin down. I'll simply have to choose one with either the worst writing or the worst plot.

So....The Dark Place by Mildred Davis. It's not my fave book, but I keep it in spite of its faults.

Answer 4

The Wake of the Perdido Star
by some actor... I think Gene Hackman
it's terrible but fun

Stupid White Men, Michael Moore
