I have to say Atlas Shrugged too. God that book was useless. I got ten pages into John Galt's monologue and skipped to the end.

Letters To An American Farmer, I can't remember who the author was but I just remember hating every second of that book

Fahrenheit 451. I loved Brave New World, and 1984 (with the exception of that whole slab about the book), but Fahrenheit 451 was just so dull and uninteresting.

Heresy! I thought the book part was interesting.

Plato's Republic, it was not as technically difficult as people say, but it was possibly the dullest thing I have read in my entire life. I got about 50 pages in and said "Fuck it".

I hear you about the 1984 "book" part, it was much more dull than the rest of the book, interesting at first, then it got old.

Wuthering heights. I was forced to read it when I was 15-16 as part of my GCSE English assignment. I hated every minute of it. How I got an A* god only knows :D

I absolutely loved, despite having yet to finish, American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

It's a great read but it doesn't half drag.....

I picked up a book called "Gateway to Foo", once.

You know Harry Potter? And how awesome Hogwarts was?

Imagine a 300 page story that was about Harry finding the GODDAMNED CASTLE. Then it ends.

I set the stupid thing on fire.

Finding Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
Worst assigned reading ever. I was supposed to read this in 6th grade.
12 pages in and I attempted Hari Kari with a plastic spork. True story.

David Copperfield. It was SO boring. *sighs* but thats just me, I read it on a dare.

But recently... I'd say maybe the book I'm reading now. Its called Under the Banner of Heaven and its all about this murder of a 15 month old and her mother by (two of) their husband/father's brothers in a Fundamentalist Mormon City back in the 1980s. I'm only about 50 pages in,a nd so far everyhting I've read is about how the Fundamentalist Mormons are all just psycho pedophile bastards, where quite litrally one of the laws of their religion is that if you (they're all white), are seen with a black person, its punishable by death, for both of participants, ON THE SPOT!!!

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to flame bait or start a religious bashing, but come on... I dread turning each page cause i might see another story about a 15 month old bbaby being killed or 13 year old being raped against her will because its, quote, "God's heavenly orders to the men that commit the crimes as justification."
