re: What's a book that you wished you had never picked up (because it sucked so bad)?

fricking trash. felt like it was written simply because of the commercial success of the first. at no point did i ever feel the characters would fail. and it was written horrifically.

Douglas Adam's must have been in a really bad place when he wrote this one.
Think he said as much and had planned to write another one.

I dig Dickens but damn Bleak House was tough to get through.

Yeah, this has been my nemesis book. Tried it 4 times and gave up each time. Fifth try I made it all the way through. At times it's enjoyable. But mostly I found it tedious. There are a lot of difficult books that I enjoy. This was not one of them.

Under the Dome by Stephen King. real slog.

Gone Girl. I've not really cared for a number of books, but that was the only one I genuinely hated. Just an entire sob story that reveals a dumb, cheap trick.

English teacher in HS recommended Cold Mountain to me for a book report.
I absolutely hated it. Could not think of a worse book for a 17 year old dude. Got an A, and she admitted after she hated the book too. I think she told me to read it because I was an obnoxious clown at the time

Reading it now, almost stopped when it added unnecessary extra plot points. Told my wife it spends the first 1/4 - 1/3 of the book wasting time to get to the actual story.

I really enjoyed it, thought it was better than the show. It reminded me of Needful Things, which I loved.

One of my all time favorites. I’ve read it at least 5 times. For me, it’s an amazing adventure story
Maybe I’ll pick it up and try again. It’s still on by bookshelf, where it’s been for over 20 years
