Hehe, awh Mongke - you should have vented sooner!! *hug*

I read My Place when i was 13 or so, not as set analyatical reading, perhaps that's why i didn't hate it as much. Dingo, on the other hand... there were so many complaints about that text, that we were told not to even bother returning the books, lol!! :rofl:

Hehe, I read it at 13, because my Mother [who was a social worker at the time] thought it would be beneficial for me to be able to relate to aboriginality in it's academic aspects as well as the social. We often had kids staying with us of lots of different backgrounds, which was always awesome - i loved getting to know different people and learning to open my mind to what i wouldn't normaly see or understand.

Nearly fell into a 1000 year coma reading that book. I don't know, maybe I'm intellectually challenged or something but the pages are still dripping wet from the saliva I've dribbled all over it while nodding off.

Read it when you're older. It's a fantastic book.

Also, My Place is dreadful. A whining, Aboriginal woman moaning on about oppression and unfairness isn't my idea of a good read.

Just curious as to wonder what people think as the most annoying book of all time is.

Anything that's long and tedious to read, too many to list that I've read that annoy the hell out of me. :mad1:

 

[Emph]

'Red Heart' by Victor Kelleher!!!!

We had to read in in Yr11 as it is an appropriation of 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad (another annoying book).

Lets just say I celebrated when that topic was over

 

[LexxY]

Bridge to Terrabithia and Flip Flop Girl. I punched these books and threw them across the room.

 

[vanush]

Angels and Demons

 

[M-turkey]

Angels and Demons

Heh, that just keeps going and going. Dan Brown added too many twists

 

[pLuvia]

ALL shakespeare crap

 

[kiteblood]

The Lake at the End of the World

It was horrible.... never again

YOU WIN.



That, and The Glass Jar; spoiled middle glass white girl complains ceaselessly about fictitious and/or utterly irrelevant problems. Good job trying to kill yourself for no reason. Sylvia Plath is so fucking emo it hurts.

 

[Guernica]

The Nargun and the Stars.

It's about, like... a rock :-|

So. Bad.

 

[stalk_if_u_dare]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

i had to read it for HSC english & i couldnt make past chapter 16.....it was so annoying!

but i read enough of it, to do a good essay

 

[nwatts]

ALL shakespeare crap

Yeah. Along with the rest of the canon. What crap.

 

[SmokedSalmon]

Heh, that just keeps going and going. Dan Brown added too many twists

Yeah, there were lots of twists and turns here and there. But I liked the story, one of the few books that I could visualise as a movie. if that makes sense

The books I hate the most are the ones that are too slow and tedious. I like novels that are fast paced, with action, drama, and some crime/mystery thrown in. I could not stand 'Pride & Prejudice', I cannot comprehend how so many girls love this book... It's SO boring.

Can't stand Looking For Alibrandi. Or Night Letters.
