My girlfriend gave me a book about a month called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." I read it in about a day, not because I liked it, but because I was trying to see if it would culminate into some kind of twist ending that would make it all worthwhile. But no, all I got out of it was a kid that was ok with doing drugs and drinking, didn't know how to masturbate (not even joking), and the most naive and childish writing that's ever grazed my cornea. The kid even went into some kind of catatonic seizure for no reason at all, or something like that. And in one part of the story, he gives poem to his friend Patrick that's supposed to be a suicide note...and he doesn't even know it's about suicide!!! Please, if there's anyone else out there that agree (or disagrees) with me, please respond. I don't like Stephen Chbosky.

Oh, forgot to mention. Once I was done, I contemplated over what I just read, and then realized why I hated it so. I saw the spine of the book, and there it was: The MTV symbol. No wonder I didn't like it.

I hated Jane Eyre with a passion. I mean, I realize that it was a product of its time period (which was a bit misogynistic), but Jesus Christ, couldn't she have had just a LITTLE f*cking self-respect?? My thought processes went something along the lines of "Goddammit, just stand the f*ck UP for yourself! And Mr. Rochester, you are a douchebag. Go die now, please."

Ham On Rye - Charles Bukowski The lost international - Doyle The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie submit workplace - Charles Bukowski issues The Grandchildren could understand - Mark Everett i'm not particular about the worst yet I dislike maximum teenage fiction with interest. I forgot Danny Champion of the international through Roald Dahl which I have very, very fond memories of my Dad studying to me as a baby. Oh and the God fantasy ;)

The Great Gatsby
As a testament to the general sucking of F. Scott Fitzgerald, I submit the preface of one of the latest Waldenbooks editions, in which we learn that the book took years to edit, because it was so anachronistic and sloppily written.

My sister talked me into reading a Mary Higgins-Clark book. I got about 20 pages in before I chucked it. The writing was just cheesy and cliche. I no longer accept book recommendations from my sister. : (

I haven't read that one, but I've read my fair share of stinkers. I blot them from my memory as quickly as possible.
