Many people have a love-hate relationship with books. People tell me “oh, you HAVE to read insert title here ” and I know full well that it just isn’t for me. Nearly anything on Oprah’s list is too gut-wrenching for me. There is enough sadness in the world without reading more. Many people use reading to escape from their problems.
I recently read a Publisher’s Weekly blog titled Worst Book Ever.
People are definitely enthusiastic about the books they like but are truly passionate about books they hate. Wuthering Heights has got to be one of the worst I have ever read. What on earth did Catherine see in Heathcliff?
How about you? What do you consider the worst book you ever read?
Don’t have a “worst book”, but as for my own dislike of authors, it is Dean Koontz, along with Stephen King – no matter how often I try, I just can’t seem to finish any of their books, so I guess any of their books would be considered “my worst book”.
