Thread: Book Burning!

The Pearl Dammit. I could not finish that book, I tried and it drained me of life. Worst piece of literature I have ever touched,

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen - Peice. Of. Crap.

Pride and Predjudice. Although thats likely to get me into a lot of trouble with my wife, its one of her favorites. Thats the only reason I read through it.

Oh, and I'd rescue Twilight, if only because of the thousands of people that started reading because of it. I really enjoyed it, but if you hated it, just think that whatever book they read next has to be better.

Good point.

For once, words fail me. I'll have to resort to repeating myself.

If you don't like a book, just give it to somebody else.

What if you start the fire with a light bulb?

I think he already made it clear that no one here actually wants to burn books. It's just books people think the world would be better without.

Not even that, its just books we didn't like reading. With a thread title that would attract comments. Don't we all do that?

No, just bored morons.

I would burn The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I didn't like it.

How prophane!

Haha, just kidding. I hated the book too, but I quite liked the movie.

Book I'd like to burn: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Inline with the OP's stated intent, which was just a cheeky way to get to the point of which books you think are rubbish...

I'd give a big shiny bonfire to any of the turgid literary excretions of Kevin J Anderson.

Not that I actually would burn his books. I object to the idea of book burnings on every possible level.

I'd just singe them lightly... and beat him to death with a sack full of ashes.

The Vampire Diaries. My cousin made me read it and I didn't even finish it. I don't like vampire books, save for - shoot me if you want - Twilight.

Gossip Girl. The series is just soft porn for teens. Will never read them, but just reading the back cover makes me want to gag

I do like the thread, it gives people a chance to "burn" their least favorite books.
