Backstory:
I am a High School student, I'm 17, and I have a great life... so does my friend. So you would think to yourself, "well, these children don't need to read shit, as they have no reason to find arbitrary things to relate to", but that just isn't true.
My friend is reading books about talking cats. No I'm not joking, and the book is fucking retarded as all hell. First off, THE BOOK DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO HAVE CATS. They could take out all the cats (which is pretty much everything) and change it to humans and the PLOT WOULD STILL WORK. But the whole thing the book is about (CATS) only exists to support itself, it doesn't add to anything except itself. It's terrible.
I just can't get over how bad it really is; he doesn't even read the damn book either, he skims to the dialogue parts. We're in High School, if you're going to read an awful book, you may as well actually read it instead of insulting your own intelligence further. Oh, and it is a SERIES. Yep, the author felt that the concept was SO GREAT, that it warranted an entire series of over a halfdozen books. I want to murder my neighbors cat because that's really the only thing that I can relate the cat book to.
Oh, and now I hear about a book he's reading about TALKING DRAGONS. I mean, okay I guess those books actually have some sort of essential purpose to having dragons instead of people, but it still confuses me how he has some sort of talking animal fetish. I don't have any problem with him reading what he likes, I just hate the books he happens to read, and I'm ranting about how awful they are.
Fuck.
Oh, and uh... footnote says that you can talk about some awful book you or someone you know is reading... but please don't talk about Twilight that much, we already know it is awful.
