Books You Want Horribly Destroyed.

[TheRundownRabbit]

Cathcer in the Rye, that book sucked like hell.

i liked it except how he called everyone a phony, It was one of the few books i enjoyed from my english classes in high school.

In my english I liked "Of Mice and Men" the best

WTF! To quote Ray Bradbury!"You Don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them" IN OTHER WORDS! No book should be destroyed for it holds cultural memory

Twilight. Also, I want to destroy To Kill A Mocking Bird mostly because of the movie. The movie was so annoying I now despise the book.

but I have to say I actually liked the movie because the child actors actually ACTED WELL, but that's just me.

Cathcer in the Rye, that book sucked like hell.

Good book, Honestly sorry you didn't get the deeper meaning behind it all.

Like near the End where Holden is watching his sister on the merry go round and turns his hat forward to show he's finally moving forward in life. You see the whole book he had it on backwards, showing he'd been living in the past in his life since his brother died(also it was a red hat like his brothers hair)and at the end he realized he needed to move on and live anew and grow and change. Things he previously did not want to do due to his own immaturity.

J.D. Salinger was a great thinker and writer

I got the deeper meaning of it, its just that every time I turned the page it just seemed like Holden was bitching even more, i get why its a best seller, i just didnt care for it that much

Sylas Marner, good awful book i had to read for English in my Senior year of high school. At one point the author goes through 3 pages without starting a new paragraph. I cant even tell you what it is about, because it was rly ryl bad so i didnt read it all.

Also Twilight, fucking garbage.

I had to read Silas Marner also like 7 or 8 months ago for school. Read half of it, spark noted the rest, just couldn't take that boring piece of shit anymore.

I know, it was painful reading, so i also sparknoted the whole thing, i think most of my class did.

To Kill a Mockingbird was actually good in my eyes

Anti-religious bullshit incoming! Take cover!​

Anyway, now that that mandatory thingy-majigger is over, I'm going to go for the exact opposite of what I just warned about. I think that Richard Dawkins' The God Dilemma needs to get burned. Why? Because I'm allowed to believe what I want, and having a book calling me a dumbass isn't going to change my mind.
Is it really so wrong that I believe in something rather primitive? No sir, no it is not. It may be primitive, silly, all around unlikely, but you know what? It makes me happy. So I reserve the right to believe that there is an invisible man in the sky.

Edit: It's actually called The God Delusion. I apologize to any fans, readers, or devout worshipers of this piece of literature that I may have offended.

Any religious text. Seriously, the world would be a lot more peaceful without religion.

Harry...Bloody...Potter

Twilight

>.<

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Well, I believe that destroying books is a true sign of an intellectually stunted culture,

IT exactly is! It's monstrous to destroy a book!

HA! War would exist ether way, and don't destroy books, It's monstrous

I don't think the OP really literally means "burning" the book, he means it as a figure of speech more or less. What book do you hate so bad you just want to destroy/get rid of the book? Not exactly burn it the same way churches burn books, but basically hate it so bad you jsut want to throw it away or give it away so you don't have to even look at it anymore. Besides, I wouldn't consider burning 1 book as a form of censorship, burning a pile of "offensive" books is censorship, but throwing one in a bonfire because you don't like it/want it anymore and can't be hassled with waiting to sell it is different, to me at least.

It is a awful book and the guy is a total jerk but even destroying it is a act of evil

None of them. It's really upset me that this thread contains cretins willing to go along with this. Hopefully they are 12 and will outgrow this shit.

I think a few people have missed the idea of this thread... it isn't advocating the burning or destruction of books. It's simply a 'what's your most hated book' thread with frills.
I've burned a few books in my time... not to 'kill the ideas' within them, purely because they were books I'd read already and I couldn't pass them on or sell them to anyone. Bonfire night, anything to keep the flame roaring.

There are several things certain in life: death, taxes, and herp-derp religion responses in these threads.

I hate calculus textbooks. There are no good calculus textbooks. Every calc class I've taken, I've found a better source material from the google searchbar.

You know what? You are right. To kill an idea is worse than killing a man, for killing an idea is to destroy a man's existence itself. Or something like that.

As much as I think Dawkins is a dick, he has a right to publish what he wants to.
