yeah, haunted was pretty awful.

I feel the same way about 'Survivor'. Palahniuk is over-rated.

i disagree i like the potter books. but a book i don't like is the scarlet letter, we had to read that in skool about a week ago and it was really crap.

I also disagree, I really liked the DaVinci Code, but I had to read The Trial in school...now there is a shit book.

Not sure why you are even allowed to read.

I didn't know someone else- not Kafka- wrote a book called The Trial.

You will now enlighten me.

Speaking of Kafka, I had a really difficult time getting through Metamorphosis. Not that it was a bad book, just really drab.

I don't like The Metamorphosis as much as The Trial.

'Drab' in some ways is part of his technique, though not in a pejorative sense.

I'm reading it right now - The Will to Power by Friedrich Nietzsche. It's not that philosophers typically have horrific literary abilities, or that their ideas are poorly developed, or that the guys translating the original texts and notes from the original languages into English did poorly, but philosophy just isn't good reading, and The Will to Power epitomizes that statement. Most of the "sentences" are fragments, and while they all go along the same themes, and in some rough sort of order, there is somehow little to no congruence.

Every single page is a chore, seemingly made even more difficult than it has to be on purpose, so as to test the conviction and/or maturity of those so bold as to wish to comprehend the words (or an approximation of the words) of one of the greatest philosophers of all time.

Also, I remember strongly disliking much of what I was required to read in high school - Slaughterhouse Five, Brave New World, The Scarlet Letter, Canterbury Tales... I disliked them not because they were written poorly, or I couldn't comprehend them, but simply out of principle - hatred of the pompous deification of them by school boards across the country. You get worked up for something great, then get something okay...

wow, you're so full of yourself, you even have a picture of WJS, representing yourself, wow...
i disagree with you about philosophical reading, when someone take that boat, he's unable to read anything else because of it, except maybe classics, when someone is philosopher, every other book is just dull, and boooooring...
And about Nietzsche: the Will to Power is never meant to be 'defragmented', that book was published after his death, it's not systematised, or put together in some sort of coherent knowledge, it's just aphorisms, and thoughts, and if you don't like them, do not underestimate them...
there is one aphorism by N: Who have ever said, He's not by my taste, therefore I'm not worthy of him...i think you can find yourself in those words...
I'm not saying that i understand N, but I'm trying, I'm not worthy of him. yet🙂
In his writings, there are much more than last century ever find out, and it's doubtful that this one will find out either, N is the future...
BTW, I'm sorry for my bad grammar, English isn't my native...

p.s. why don't you try with some other work like: well, every other 🙂

Kill a Mocking Bird

Boring as hell.....
