Hi all! The feature this week is Read.Breathe.Relax and the host, as always, is Parajunkee. Go check them out :) Here's today's question:
Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?
Oh, that's easy. In school, I was one of those kids who actually read everything we were assigned (even though at that point I wasn't really into reading). Answer to the question probably running through your brain at this very moment: Yes, I am a complete geek.
I'm sure no one else will say it. The book's supposed to be a classic, and I'm sure a whole bunch of people out there like it. Why else would it be required reading?
But my answer is Animal Farm by George Orwell. Just…no, not for this ninja.
I actually really liked this book but I didn't like his book 1984. New follower :)

I've never read it and I never really wanted too! most things people call classics just don't appeal to me!
ReplyDeletethanks for following my blog. Happy hopping, have a good weekend.
I'm not sure I'd like Animal Farm or 1984 either. People keep telling me to read them. I probably will just to say that I have. But, they're not at the top of my list. ;)

I liked Animal Farm. I also went back to high school reading for my worst read today.

Haha, yeah I couldn't stand this book either. I got the metaphor and themes and all that but I still thought it was stupid. And depressing. Good pick! Thanks for stopping by earlier today :) Have a great weekend!

Hopping through. I liked Animal Farm but it isn't the kind of book that really stuck with me. I liked Watership Down better.

Aw, I love Animal Farm. But that's the way it is with books - there's always something that others love that you can't stand.
ReplyDeleteWhile I really didn't like "Animal Farm" or that God awful "Lord of the Flies", the book that I disliked the most of was "A Great and Terrible Beauty". The characters in that book are so flawed and have virtually no redeeming features that they repulsed me. I couldn't root for any of them
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I wasn't forced to read Animal Farm in high school. So I haven't read it yet (if I ever will :P).
