P.S. I Love You

It's terrifying how much some people actually seem to like that book. I blame lack of reading material and my mother's taste in books for me ever picking it up. It was drivel, but even worse it was badly written drivel. It just felt so wooden and lifeless.

I did rather like Catcher in the Rye though.

The worst book I have attempted to read was Anne Rands Atlas Shrugged, nobody has said it better the this South Park character

At first I was happy to be learning how to read. It seemed exciting and magical, but then I read this: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I read every last word of this garbage, and because of this piece of s**t, I am never reading again.

I only read science books :D


I also much prefer non-fiction to fiction, but I do sometimes force myself to try reading novels, and I occasionally enjoy them.

Which novel did you read?

I've never been able to stomach, let alone finish, One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Really? Multiple Personality Disorder has fascinated me ever since I watched The Three Faces of Eve and Sybil.
