Post the cringiest books you unironically liked when you were young

the communist manifesto

this

Fablehaven and the spook

Fablehaven wasn't cringy, that series was awesome that didn't use the same boring werewolves and vampires monster garbage, it went oldschool European. Same with The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel.

It's still my favorite fantasy series of all time though

Communist manifesto. I meme you not.

James Patterson novels

...

I'm still kinda disappointed that I never finished this series as a kid

The author visited my school and almost everyone pre-ordered a copy

There's nothing especially cringy about that; at least it's nonfiction.

Fight Club

I'm not proud of myself of how many times i re-read this shitty series.

Jesus, did they just lazily toss their cover photo into one of those automatic vector programs?

ikr

...

Or pic related

Why is teen fiction almost always awful?

...

cause its meant for teens

for me, it's pic related

city of boners

>tfw trying to conjure a sexy Max in my head based off the covers and brief descriptions of her

step aside fuckers

48 Laws of Power

fuck you got me

lol this and that demon stuff

Probably Pete Hautman.

Haven't read any of them since I've gotten older though so they could be good.

too many of these

also, I'm trying to remember the title of a YA book I used to read. It was a series, it was about a group of friends who played some magic D&D or some shit in a treehouse and some monsters or something came over the town, maybe some shit with werewolves. The cover was like dark bricks and maybe had some creepy wolf eyes or some shit. ring any bells?

This

>you have no idea how horny that shit made me

elaborate

Good ending, well, at least as good as those type of endings can get

Oh boy i liked these too and im not a girl.

it's actually historical fantasy

No shame in liking The Black Company. It's the best fantastic setting made in modern time. Far better than the normie game of thrones.

not a book per se but when i was younger I was a roady for smashing pumpkins and i would get a lot of blowjobs from girls at festivals. I used to like it when they took their pink and jammed it in my asshole right before i came.

Atlas Shrugged

Probably the worst book I've ever read but I'm glad there's someone else that has read it.

The violence and gore blew my mind as a kid. All the books I read before this was clean fantasy or
teenage dramas.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

...

Met him when I was a kid. Funny guy not as in he'd make you laugh just funny like off. Not really that strange for Ireland tho

I liked the Pendragon series a lot in middle school and early high school. Read up to the Quillian Games, then couldn't be bothered to finish. Don't know how cringy it actually is, but I thought the concepts of First, Second, and Third Earth were cool.

You just won the thread, miss

tolkien is a hack

I was 2 edgy when I was 14.

Des Tiny

I read this too. I finished the entire series, in retrospect its pretty cringy and the story really falls apart after book...6 i think? One of the books is just some guys furry porn fantasies put to life. I dunno. The overarching mythos and logic of the books is sloppy but the first 3 ish were good.

Revenge of the Shadow King?

I believe I win.

Same senpai, but I read pic related when I was 14 on a road trip to Las Vegas

not that i understood most of it.

nobody yet?

>goosebumps
>cringey
Don't be a faggot user.

Is there much to understand?

Dawkins always came off as a reddit tier debater to me

they were awful books

oh oh anime light novels

Not cringy but I burned through almost all goosebumps books as a kid, and even in my kid head I noticed how formulaic some of them were

My favourites were the ones with the school where everything turns grey and kids attacking each other in a lord-of-the-flies esque way, and the one where some kid at a camp gets stabbed in the neck with a fork.

Anyway, on a related note, I secretly read (and denied stealing) my sister's tween romance books, which were pretty embarrassing.

I mostly read Roald Dahl as a kid though, based mum

My school bullies were really into these

The Welcome to the NHK light novel is actually pretty good. Way better than the anime, especially when you know the context behind the author.

Because it's not really written for teens but for dumb adults.

I'm not sure if I read this specific one but you get the idea. I read a bunch of them.

Read it at least 10 times when I was 14

Warriors was my jam as a kid, I read all of them even when they started to get really fucking bad

also the books about those owl niggas

rip
and the one about wolves

I started reading this series because this guy in school I wanted to be friends with loved them

He saw that I was almost done with the first book and really enjoying it, so he decided to walk up to me and spoil everything of import from the later books

I was a little too old when the wolf books came out to enjoy them

I dropped the first book

>school where everything turns grey and kids attacking each other in a lord-of-the-flies esque way
ah shit nigga that's the first one i read
mr chameleon

same except with pic related

Literally fucking this. I think I read it twice.

I was really into these as a kid, as well as those Olympus Books that Riordan wrote. I read a bunch of those Magic Tree house books when I was in the like 1st to 3rd grade and then kinda moved onto Harry Potter after that.. I really enjoyed the Chronicles of Narnia as well. There were a ton of series that I read that I can't really recall as of now, but I read a ton of books when I was a kid. Rohald Dahl was big, The Rangers Apprentice series was also big then. I remember though when I hit about 11 or 12 years old I got really into Steinbeck and Catcher in the Rye. Also all those Artemis Fowl and those Chris d'Lacey books. Really enjoyed those Phillip Pullman, The Golden Compass, books as well as that Wee Free Men series by Terry Pratchett.
Also read all these as well.

Fuck forgot the image

...

My man

my old childhood friend met Darren and got some autographs and promised to give me one, but he never did
Fuck you Isaiah, let's play halo again sometime

Demonata, yeah same here. One time I had a dream that I was reading the third book in the series. I went and checked it out like a week later, and details about the book, including the cover, were the same as my dream.

I like the anime adaptation of this. Never read the book.

The end was the author just trying to justify his self insert as the main character.

what are some teen/young adult books I should teach to my middle schoolers?

I remember 5th grade as well

Read this, Rick Riordans shit, like all of it, Fable Haven, ASOUE, Secret series and Captain underpants.

>I secretly read (and denied stealing) my sister's tween romance books, which were pretty embarrassing.

I didn't know that genre was a thing until I found one from the 70s in a desk in the back corner of Mr. Becker's 6th grade social studies class. I devoured the thing. Pretty sure I was hiding a boner under the desk.

Still read it desu. There is a new sequel series and im enjoying it. I wish the cjaracters would experience reall growth tho but dunno what I expected from a childrens novel

chuck palahniuk's novels

my diary

I'm not sure I'd classify this one as "cringey" but it's far from well written.

I could never make it through this as a kid. i would read two chapters and get real fucking bored

I powered through a lot of the crap mentioned in this thread. But when my sixth grade self read Eragon it became the first book I outright dropped. It's funny to hear that not only did it lift the plot from Star Wars, but it had scenes taken out of a bunch of other books as well. I was not surprised to hear that it was only published because of nepotism.

my friend thinks Eragon is literally the best thing ever written, and I don't want to crush him by shitting on it

It always makes me so mad when he pretends his literary opinion means anything

That book's not that edgy.
