euklyd Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I read the first three inheritance cycle books a few years ago, and I think those would be the last shit books I read. They weren't actually a particularly bad experience. Just... kind of ... ... yeah. Probably the third one of those. I stopped reading the fourth one like 50 pages from the end, so it doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 not bad as much as disappointing but i read ben-hur some years ago, cover to cover, because the movie is so great but the book is so dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specta Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 that'd probably be elfshadow by elaine cunningham really uninspiring in general and the main character had no charm :( one dude was cool but he wasn't nearly enough to salvage the whole book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 it's very possible that the last time i read a full book was in the first grade... AND YES I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING "THAT EXPLAINS A LOT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) probably some shit i read in 10th or 11th grade that i already forgot about one of those required reading thingies past that I only read shit i cared about (aka no bad shit beyond this point) and math text books my memories of bad books don't go back that far although let me say, the writing in some of those math textbooks are awful, far too many unnecessarily big words and complicated language and not enough actually teaching you how to math it's like I'm a fucking math major not an english major I'd like to you know math not decipher this paragraph of english before i can even math Edited July 24, 2014 by Thor Odinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartas_Chilenas Zzzzzzzz Had to read it for literature class back in high school 4 years ago or so. I liked all the other few books i read since. Edited July 24, 2014 by Valesca Popozuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolat_(novel) I don't know if it's "bad" but I fucking hated reading it for English in high school. Barely anything happens to my recollection. Some people in our class just flat out didn't read it and skipped the question regarding it in the exam.

NinjaMonkey Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have never read a bad book all the way to the end. I have read some really bad fan fiction all the way to the end, though (the partaking of alcohol was required to numb the pain, both during and after reading).

Maji Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Dream of Red Mansions, it's my Chinese professor's favourite book, but as I learned, me and her have completely different tastes in literature. It's probably like a million times better in Chinese than it is in Engrish, granted. With that, I have finished the Four Great Classics! ..Now to do it all over again with my rudimentary Chinese.

Makaze Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Breaking Dawn. Easily tied for the worst book I have ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. You are worthy of being appointed to a position at court as a Confucian scholar. EDIT-I read about 400 pgs of Red Mansions/Chambers before stopping. I was actually enjoying it, but I got completely demoralized when I realized I was reading an abridged version. (It wasn't even the kind of abridged version that goes for cutting out less necessary material. Instead, it just included the full story up to about pg 1000 and then cut off with no apparent second volume being sold anywhere.)

RandomX2 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Inheritance is probably the most recent, but I'm reluctant to call it bad since I liked the first book as a kid. Also, the Twilight books are much more deserving of the label "bad", so I'll lock in Breaking Dawn as my final answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Question 319. Were you ever a bully back in school? 'bully' is a shit word and i hate using it but i like the question also yes, though less often than the converse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 No. I was very sure of my superiority, so I didn't need to. Neither was I bullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I was. For a bit, when I was really little, I was a terrible little shit to one person. and I still feel really awful about it Edited July 25, 2014 by Euklyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyWalk Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) of course a low socioecnomic all boys school does that to you (not really) but everyone was a bully, it was just our way of humoring and bonding Edited July 25, 2014 by Alb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) uh sort of there was this kid who was mean to me and i was mean back and then he grew up and got ripped and alpha and hot as fuck and he's actually a really nice and intelligent person. there was this other kid i was mean to and then we became friends but then he whooped my ass for unrelated reasons.

Esau of Isaac Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Nah. I was bullied often as a little kid, so by high school I was mostly quiet and kept to myself. Although most of my best friends were people that I hated or was a huge dick towards when I was younger. Odd that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I was a little shit in middle school that hardly had any true friends. Because of that crappy experience, I mellowed out going into high school and tried making friends, but people liked picking on me for being new. One day in PE, this kid who liked messing with me got on my nerves, so I stood up when he ran over to me to bother me, grabbed him, and threw him on the ground in front of everyone. I was quite well-known after that, and he and some others for the most part stopped picking on me. Sure, they called me out and tried to embarrass me whenever they could out of the blue, but at least I showed that I'm not someone you should mess with often.

Aizenberg Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) i was a bit of an asshole when i was younger but i never was like an actual bully. that being said, i did get bullied myself back in my secondary school days Edited July 25, 2014 by Aizenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
