Anyone regret reading a book?

Not because it was dreadful but because it was disturbing, toying with reading If This Is a Man Survival in Auschwitz) is a memoir by Italian Jewish writer Primo Levi.

The Bible

Atlas Shrugged, which now functions as a doorstop.

The bible is a very interesting book full of allegory and myth.

"That they may face the rising sun" by John Mc Gahern. Don't read it, it's dreadful.

That bad? I was going to give it a read at some stage

"Fifty shades of Grey" - illiterate, ignorant, and far, far too long.

1984

I realised then that people are c@nts when they are afraid.

American Psycho. Sadistic as f*ck and not quite as clever as it thinks it is.

It collapses under the weight of its own contradictions. I laboured through 1,100 pages so you don't have to.

I read that. You should read it, disturbing or not.

Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol.


Fcuk you Dan Brown...fcuk you.

An Erotic Life, by Dennis Reynolds.

Terrible.

Any book that requires you to read another book to explain what the first one was trying, obviously unsuccessfully, to say.

There is humor in it. And it will your improve your knowledge of 80's
pop music. And men's fashions.

meeeeh

Dante's Divine Comedy. Because the translation was excellent and therefore complete nightmare to decipher. On every page there were half a page of citations and explanations.

Only later I discovered a more basic translation that was 10 times easier to read.

Irreverent

Someone recommended The Shack to me before by William Paul Young. Offensively awful book.

BTW I thought That they may face the rising sun was a superb book. Different strokes I suppose...

Ditto.

Tried Atlas Shrugged as well. Complete claptrap and borderline unreadable.

Communist Manifesto by Marx was complete scutter as well. Boring bastard.

“Does God Love Michael’s Two Daddies?” by Sheila K. Butt.

Almost funny but sadly just homophobic.

That's a great book...

I read 1984 at the wrong time in my life, I wasn't in a good place then.
Now I just don't think it's a great book.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I never want to see that book again.

Healter Skelter was disturbing too but a cracking read.

The chapter when he tries to cook I found laugh out loud.

I read Helter Skelter too , pretty disturbing stuff.

"Peig" never again.

Eggs For Dinner

John Grisham's An Innocent Man. Like reading a shopping list. I know it is non-fiction but there wasn't any flow to it.

Church on Tuesday

Cormac McCarthy's Child of God a relentlessly grim disturbing read.

A Mother’s Reckoning by Sue Klebold

(Mother of Dylan Klebold Columbine school shooter)

Don’t know what I was expecting but not stories of a regular kid who had spent hours the week of the shooting with his dad going through the measurements of the dorm rooms at the college he wanted to go to...working out where he’d have the most space because he was so tall.

It unsettled me.

"Go Set a Watchman" by Harper Lee. Poor, poor Jem. It felt like I had lost a real friend when I read that. I wish I could get it erased from my memory.

"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Just relentlessly grim.
