What is the worst book you've ever read, and why?

>>9552414
Some Danish fantasy novel. Amazingly generic, only read it for school

>>9552414
JANE EYRE

Infinite Jest or Broom of the System. Or Celine in english translation

Infinite Jest because it was too long, and unnecessarily complex at times.

>>9552414
Sabbath's Theatre. Never has transgressive literature been so dull and garrulous.

Infinite Jest

>>9552460

>>9552414
Reading it at the moment. It's called the man in the fith row.
First book i read that i was really annoyed with. Reading it for a literary bookclub.
Second book were discussing there, first was a nice read, this is just horrible.

The author seems to be trying to compensate their lack of literary talant with her own ideas and insights. She swamps you at the beginning, every small paragraph is finished with a deep fucking thought. It's hit and miss. Damn i'm mad, i'm looking forward to crush this at the meeting.

One question, i haven't read that much, other there have read tons, how can't they see that this is plain poison?

Reading Stand in Zanzibar and it's really fucking irritating, the thought of finishing it makes me want to scream

>>9552414
WHY must you torture me with the jezerbells, they got such large tits. I'm trying to be absent and can't touch my cock anymore. Devil stuff, you know what I mean.

Horrorstor. Short ghost horror novel set in an Ikea rip off. Concept sounded fun, thought it would make a good distraction between more serious works.

It was fucking shite. Poorly written, uninteresting characters, standard horror fare that just wasn't scary or fun. Blurb described it as a horror comedy, it was just bad horror.

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. Too dated and entirely predictable and just a slog to get through. Never like Fahrenheit 451 but absolutely loathed him after IM

House Of Incest by Anais Nin.

I love dream-like rambling narratives like Burroughs but holy shit was that book dull. it was like 70 pages and i was so bored it took me around 4 hours to finish it.

Imagine a Britbong's only knowledge of NYC was through visits as a tourist and Lifetime/very-special-episodes regarding drugs, prostitution, etc. Now, imagine this Britbong actually and seriously writing a book about this caricature impression of NYC in the 70s/80s, as if it were the real thing.

It's so fucking bad, goddamn.

The first 10 or so pages of 50 shades of Grey were awful. Terrible expressions like "my two left feet tee hee". Seemed written by a non-native English speaker.

Also Taipei by Tao Lin. Read two thirds of that garbage and it felt like a thousand pages. Boring, slow, pointless.

Either "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens or "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller Jr.

"Great Expectations" is horribly written and super tedious.

"A Canticle for Leibowitz" got me super invested in the protagonist only for him to randomly die halfway thru the book. I felt like I had wasted a huge amount of time. It's not like Game of Thrones where there are multiple plots and protagonists, so it felt like the whole story ended, even though there was plenty of crap left to read.

I figured I'd read something light, something comedic, that sort of thing, and this was being memed to hell and back in my homecountry.

Utter shit. The main character is a fucking asshole we're supposed to sympathize with because he's and old man, but also avuncular and cheeky, isn't that crazy? I don't know how to describe the style, but it's like someone trying to rip-off Forrest Gump and just fucking it up.

>>9553005
Can't seem to find it, my memory is too vague. Female author, coming of age story, I believe there were nomads in it? That's about all. Honestly I just remember finding it insultingly stupid.

Interesting new strategy Tao. Gearing up for the new novel release?

some trash airport scifii novel i read when i was sixteen on holiday and only picked up because i liked the cover illustration. Something about a giant megacity having some mutagen cosmetic released by accident and turning everyone into beasts. Lots of stupid actions scene and some disgusting ones where the main characters love interest turns into a mutant but is still somehow sentient and there are vivid descriptions of her mutant labia producing a viscous slime because she still loves the main character. Ends in a big fight where it turns out that the cosmetic mutagen was produced by a lovecraftian AI god and they blow up the base and everyone transforms back and all is good but leaves it open for sequel from this hack piece of shit writer to make more money off stupid teenagers and bored accountants.

As for a single book, I'd say Tangerine by Edward Bloor. It was required for a class in 7th grade, and from the set-up on the back cover, I figured I'd at least get some decent fantasy/spook out of it (given that it mentioned things like a house that had been hit by lightning 3 times, and an underground coal vein that was accidentally lit on fire, and continued burning.)

No. It was just about some special as fuck kid with thick as fuck glasses, learning to play soccer. And also

The Celestine Prophecy by a fair margin. Got through about 10 pages before I realized what a crock of shit it is.

Hidden Messages in Water was also a laughable crock of shit for gullible people.

Confederacy of Dunces

"'Laugh out loud funny'

That was the review that made me decide to read this book.

Laugh out loud funny...really? To conjure a mental picture of me reading this book, imagine someone almost catatonic with boredom from the total inanity of reading this novel...staring blankly into the middle distance as tumbleweed rolls across my path and a church bell clangs a deathtoll somewhere in the distance.

Laugh out loud funny? I guess you may find this book amusing, perhaps if you're a teenage hipster then you'll probably find it oh-so hilarious. But then you'll have to keep putting the book down at the end of each chapter to pat yourself on the back in congratulation to yourself for getting the joke. I guess you might also find the book funny if you're an utter moron. If you find farce funny, if you find people dressed in amusing clothes funny, if you find page after page of inane 'I'm rambling against the man but actually I'm an idiot' monologues funny then lucky you (yes I get it, it's meant to be ironic). I despised this book, there are several books I've found dull, not my thing, haven't liked the person particularly. I've never found one so engagingly annoying. Toole topped himself after writing this because it wasn't a runaway success. They then decided to posthumously award it the Pulitzer...draw your own conclusions. Utter tripe. "

-Charles Baudelaire

The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

An exploration of the events that led to and coincided with the closing of an English language international newspaper based in Rome. Each chapter focused on the perspective of a different employee or person intimately involved with the newspaper. Half-hearted commentary on the death of the newspaper industry, but Rachman sold that idea to the personal struggles of the individual characters, who were all shitty people.

>You're thinking "They were supposed to be shitty, because humans are shitty and the author was trying to humanize them."

Nope, just shitty. Literally every character in a relationship was having an affair. Do people cheat? Of course, yes, I understand. Might it be more socially acceptable or even tacitly allowed in Rome? Maybe. But every, single, character? That was a serious comment on the author's framework for how a relationship works, and forced me into one of three mindsets. Either he's a cynic in the interpersonal way, he doesn't understand how relationships actually work, or he's hopelessly cucked.

I hated each of the archetype characters passionately, which was not the author's intended effect. My furor is all the more distinct because at the time the book was quite popular, and was bought for me as a present and a recommendation. It still enjoys generally positive reviews, 3.5/5 on Goodreads.

>Saving grace might be the second to last chapter, a part or co-owner of the paper had a dog that was killed by a vengeful staff-member of the soon to be defunct paper. That made me feel a feel.

I otherwise found it to be complete trash.

I can't let this thread pass without mentioning The Road. By far the worst book I have ever had the misfortune of reading.

Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk. What kind of stupid faggot do you have to be to think that writing a book in broken English is a good idea.

Nausea, American Psycho both were so boring that i couldnt finish.

I respect Sartre and his ideas but Nausea was so empty i felt i was just wasting my time

I felt like i had read the whole book of American Psycho after whats his face gets some "coke" and its probably just splenda but he hopes it isnt and still "gets high" from it. The whole book right there. Just idiot scenes of truly unhappy individuals desperately clinging onto their materialism and egos hoping to find some kind of solace but never getting any and hating everyone else for it.

That being said i just finished Infinite Jest and yeah there were times where the book was a slog (especially the fucking ebonics fuck you dfw), but given the narratives about pleasure the book hopes to emphasize i learned to enjoy the drawn out descriptions that went on for pages only to just barely get a glimpse of what it was he was saying

>person number X to call Nausea the worst book they've ever read ITT

I came to it during a period of quasi-isolation and while reading nothing but English poetry assignments for a class. Nausea was a shotgun blast of feeling and emotion for me. Roquentin's voice puts such a fine point on so many feelings and problems. The Sartre that wrote this, Being and Nothingness, and the Age of Reason is so much more interesting and in touch with suffering than the meme shaman he blossomed into after the war. It is so very, very far from empty.

Either way, I find your assessment to be overly severe and if your heart is not deep enough or sensibility not wide enough to appreciate this work, then I question your credibility as an amateur 4chan literary critic.

I don't particularly give af about American Psycho or IJ, tho. Hate all you like. In fact, if those were the reading choices you brought up alongside Nausea then I dread to think what your preconceived notions and mental point of departure was when you opened the cover. It sounds like you went through some "edgelord manifestos and hip writer circlejerks" reading list.

>>9562392

I point out the fact I was reading nothing but classic English poetry to get to how drowning in sentiment I was. Not to shit on the writers, but it was all starting to feel so mawkish and fake. When he's sitting in that cafe listening to that married couple whine about the food while reading Eugenie Grandet - it's hard to put it exactly but I get it.
Among other things, Nausea is all about the alien-ness of the world and the constructs and forms you're pushed towards thinking with and living by.

The best part of the series is that you can with a clear conscience instantly dismiss any opinion of a person over the age of 14 who freely admits to having enjoyed this garbage.

But you both agree that "Great Expectations" is terrible?

The Handmaid's Tale.

Jesus Christ, it's excruciating.

Noughts and Crosses. The story seemed pretty good, but once realized the stupid political brainwashing I was angry.

I remember having to read Tangerine back in school. All I really remember about it was that it was boring because it felt like nothing was happening.

I also found The Great Gatsby to be boring.

Brave New World is fine, just overhyped.

I thought the author raised some good points and said things most people are afraid to, but all know are true.

I really didn't like Tomorrow's Harvest.

Good book or not I enjoyed it. Mostly for the atmosphere

>Ma'am, may I offer you twelve inches of Paradise?
That line alone made the entire book worth it. Aside from that I think its reputation is mostly carried by the author an heroing.

>As for a single book, I'd say Tangerine by Edward Bloor.

Do you live in new hampshire? I feel like you went to my middle school.....

Scarlet Letter

Just the way Hawthorne writes, the prose is like nails on a chalkboard, and the main drama is less interesting than the worst post on /b/ today.

Free Anne Rice book on Amazon.
Good lord, it was like an edgy delusional managa story thrown into a book and trying to be serious.

So this thread is "try to trigger people by calling their favorite book shit?"
Because my worst is probably one of the Harry Potters.
Surely y'all have read worse books than Infinite Jest.
