Worse book yall ever read?

Percy Jackson

fucking harry potter

1984, it was just badly written and out of proportion because even in the most totalitarian of states that won't happen. I mean during the torture scene he exclaims that Ingsoc is openly greedy and that's why they did it, but if you know how biopower works it's much better to work in a Brave New World type fashion if you're a greedy cunt if you want to prey on people. Also the sex and children disobeying parents was shit
t.Orwell was a dumb motherfucker

1984 really is terrible desu

This. People who think this is gonna happen are brainlets. Also, George Orwell would support ANTIFA if he was still alive

Ready Player One. I legitimately thought Veeky Forums was just being pretentious and biased against popcorn and "Reddit" nerd culture, and since the premise was very interesting, I decided to check it out.

Boy was I wrong. Really just page after page of the most bland and pointless narration you can find. The "cringey" passages that often get reposted (the ones about atheism and masturbation) are honestly the best part of the book because at least they express some kind of authorial worldview. The rest is just one big Wikipedia article. I don't know why I even finished it.

my diary desu

Plebs found.

Asimov was right about 1984:

I couldn't read reddit player one without cringing every second line.

This, I never finished it, I just couldn't do it.

Kys Marxist cretin

The Alchemist

The first half of Fifty Shades Darker, which was all I could get through. At least Twilight has the trainwreck factor; this thing is impossible to stomach.

literally what's the point of it, control and fear of power? Like shit it's not even feasible that a country could get that controlling and the people get complacent.
Look up how biopower works, it's actually is run on how "positive" punishment works instead of "negative" punishment of 1984. Basically what we live in now, with good boy points and likes on Instagram and all that bullcrap. It's living in fear not of government but society which the government controls

Swing Time by Zadie Smith

Recently DNF'd The Great Gatsby. I can't get past explicitly being told how to feel about everything that happens. Characters feel one-dimensional. At one point, Fitzgerald literally says something like "an emptiness suddenly seemed to come from Gatsby's house" at the end of a party. Cringe.

Naked Lunch

The Kite Runner

1984 was based on existing totalitarian states, just not first-world countries. This already happened and does happen, just with varying technological levels throughout history.

Anything Philip Roth
1984 has to be one of the worst dystopian books i can think of. I mean Brave new world/We make 1984 look like a childs play, the parody in 1984 is warhammer 40k level. The only thing that is interesting in the book its the analysis about acronyms, but Jordan Peterson level plebs all seem to have missed it while typing CIA, FBI, NRA etc, etc etc and crying about ''cultural marxism''

You're wrong
I'll tell you why you're wrong: I disagree with you.
Now fuck off will you

You like Philip Roth?
That has to be the true deffinition of heresy

Revolt against the modern world. Evola's a fucking retard.

You can't think of dystopian books a lot you fucking cretin. 1984 has an unrivalled capacity to create a feeling of eschatologic fear in morons who cannot, refuse to comprehend the nature of oppression. Let me explain : despite your confidence that you are an intelligent person, this book has not created incredulity in you, just that fear which you misinterpretated as the former. It is perhaps the only book to make people reject it so hard they go in a spiral of denial about it. Maybe Brave New World too.

Ways of Seeing. The 'ways' the questions are set up to receive the patently desired answers is just preposterous. Support for it here is just mind-boggling.

Its a fucking parody of the Moskow trials with a backround stolen from We. Its honestly the Warhammer 40k of literature.I never claimed to be an intelligent person, but im not a hive minded retard either, i have eyes and brain of my own, this judgment about the book was made 10 years ago when i read it, the fixation for this book comes from scared little idiots that see communist ghosts everywhere. Again the only thing that is kinda unique (or maybe i dont know where he stole it from) is the text at the start or end of the book (depends on the version) that analyses the effect of acronyms in the way people think
The nonsense you accuse me of are shaken down by the fact that i really like Brave New World as i already stated in my previous comment
I dont like to use the word pleb, but 1984 is the ultimate pleb tier dystopian book and people who like it have for the most part Louder with Crowder level of intelect or its the first and only dystopian book they have ever read

Wow, it's really difficult to guess why you disliked this one. Hint: it starts with 'B'.

Boy, either you fucking mistook 1984 for an anti-communist book or went under the assumption that this is or was a popular interpretation of 1984. Impressive. This is actually even more impressive than that passage when you thought it was a good idea to call something "the warhammer 40k of xxx". Anyway your judgement doesn't seem to be all that great and it certainly doesn't help that you read 1984 in high school.

To the Lighthouse.

>mistook for an anti-communist
Its an obvious anti-soviet union parody
Dude i start to highly doubt you have read it, or you completely lack the historical backround to understand the blatant satire of Soviet Union that is present throughout the book
Do you at least notice it in animal farm or is it too hard to get it there as well?
Or are you one of these sect people that find the book prophetic and that the word now is getting close to 1984?

Cold Sassy Tree in high school English

A Seperate Peace was by far the gayest, most boring and piece of literary shit I have ever read.

What a worthless book.

The road by McCucky

Atlas Shrugged

Call me edgy, but the Quran. It's so incoherent and repetitive and it reads like the schizophrenic ramblings of a madman (which it probably is).

fpbp

...

Reminder that, for all the forced insertion of strong female characters into other media, Twilight and Fifty Shades sold better with women by magnitudes than anything else, despite having heroines that were passive, helpless self-inserts swooning over sexually aggressive men.

I sincerely thought the same thing. So many instances "fire", "damned", "infidels", "torture", etc. There was just nothing interesting or beautiful in it.

Try Googling "Most Beautiful Bible" vs. "Most Beautiful Koran" passages.

Did the concept of new speak go over your head or something?

I got about 100 pages into 120 Days of Sodom before deciding "naah, fuck this.".

Ulysses
Gravity’s Rainbow
Infinite Jest

The Republic

>out of proportion because even in the most totalitarian of states that won't happen

I think it was on purpose. An extreme will often work well to make the danger of its line of thinking clear.

Is 120 Days that bad, or is it just like comparing a porno to Kubrick movies?

First of all, "worst," not worse. Worse is used in comparisons.

Probably Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. I'm trying to think of something worse than that, but nothing comes to mind (see what I did there).

Please pour molten metal into your eye sockets and those of your wife and children, should you have any.

Good answer.

>Please pour molten metal into your eye sockets

That's about what reading this book feels like. This shit sucks. I mean, I get it. It's important, and the legacy is tremendous, but it still sucks

Read this in high school, wanted to die during it

As I Lay Dying

Call me a brainlet, but Faulkner is a hack and modernism was a mistake.

I make a point not to read bad books; laying aside those I was forced to read, perhaps Lolita. Absolutely bereft of human feeling and interest.

It's good.

Something about two little kids and a dog. Read it many moons ago, can't remember the name. The books was incredible dry and simple in language, as if it was made for the kids in the story. Or the dog, who knows.

Night, Things Fall Apart, All Quiet on the Western Front

this will always be my answer, all absolute trash

>All Quiet on the Western Front
Interesting. I've never read this. What did you dislike about it?

I didn't really like that one. I think the Bear and Rose for Emily totally redeem Faulkner though.

Yea I had to read that shit too- why the fuck would they assign that?

>Interesting. I've never read this. What did you dislike about it?
not that guy but its just another faggy anti-war book. the author has absolutely nothing interesting to say on the topic. read storm of steel instead if you want authentic great war lit.

plodding, unbelievable, melodramatic, my english teacher’s voice as we read it together. the scene with the horses screaming in the trenches gave me chills, everything else was gay. it was 7 years ago and marijuana has ruined my memory recall, but that’s my complaint. the other two are self-explanatory for any who have actually read them.

Yargo, by Jacqueline Susann

mom said she liked it and told me to read it.

mom has shit taste

Life of Uriel Septim IV
The Lusty Argonian Maid Volume II

I remember reading and somewhat liking it when I was in middle school. How bad was it, and how much of it was because of who it was aiming for?

Those women also had many moments where they were manipulative shrews and/or bitches, so there's also that

The Fountainhead

Let's play spot the pleb.

Ferdydurke. Book is a shitshow.

American Psycho

The first five pages are all you need to understand that book. Upper strata dandies lost in dazzle of proper nouns and unchecked consumption. After that i just got bored, i made the mistake thinking maybe another 45 pages might surprise me

No, just more of the same masturbatory loathing (its more of an autobiography honestly, Ellis is trying to escape his former lifestyle)

>I get it

You don't. You REALLY don't.

The Naked Lunch by William S. Borroughs. Literally absolute garbage. Fucking filth, smut, trash. Fuck that stupid cunt.

Why the hell would you make a 9th grader read this, Mr. Briant?

>Implying a book is bad because you don't like it's message
It's an extremelu well written book you absolute faggot

Had to read some Jody Picault book that they made a movie about. It was fucking awful and I quit 20% of the way and dropped the course.

My gf wants me to read Emma. Should i do it?

1984 is probably one of the only books you've read if you don't think it's trash tier.

This, honestly Borroughs is just a meme through and through

>Orwell lacks the capacity to see (or invent) small changes. His hero finds it difficult in his world of 1984 to get shoelaces or razor blades. So would I in the real world of the 1980s, for so many people use slip-on shoes and electric razors.

Remise de Peine by Modiano

Not sure if it would be the worst, but Gatsby is definitely the most overrated book I’ve ever read (and one of the worst).

The Martian

> We
> better than 1984

Nah dude it's cool if you didn't like 1984 but We was absolute shit

I agree with what you say, a lot of the book grows into being repetitive and I understand that's the point because of how vacuous the yuppie lifestyle is, but Bret really struggled to introduce anything interesting, new or revealing into the book outside of gratuitous shock value and it's just sort of exhausting.

No one gets 1984 "right"
Everyone thinks it is "their" book, written for or about whatever side arbitrarily fits their personal preference.
Unless you happen to actually read it and realize it is a criticism of out of control socialism, mixed with a healthy dose of fascism (ideologies tend towards the same ends) then you will probably make some brainlet critique like "LOL THE YEAR 1984 AD WASN'T ACTUALLY LIKE THAT ORWELL WHAT AN IDIOOOT"
