[quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1733231' date='Dec 21 2008, 05:35 PM']Where the Red Fern Grows... I hated that book. It's probably the only book I can say that I truly hated that I read cover to cover. Normally if I dislike a book that badly I won't finish it (and I hate not finishing books).[/quote]

I remember that book, we were forced to read it in grade 6. We also watched the movie which was even worse.

I loathe that book, almost as much as A Tale of Two Cities...

Great Expectations. I thought i was really going to like it, but it was a real letdown.











(not really. I never even read it.)

Yeah, I was going to say my text book for my class on the history of the Great Depression, but yeah, Mein Kampf is definitely worse.

Others on the list: Kafka's [i]Metamorphosis[/i], [i]Grapes of Wrath[/i], anything by Hemingway (though maybe I just don't like him because I didn't like my teacher that year; same could be true about [i]The Grapes of Wrath[/i]).

There's three but I can't remember the name of one of them. The ones I can remember are Lord of the Flies and Catcher in the Rye. Hated them both.

How could you hate Catcher in the Rye? It's one of my favorites.
