    I'll go for...


    100 Flowers to knit and Crochet by Lesley Stanfield.
    I cannot foresee any circumstances under which I would read this book.
    Eh at the moment...

    I will never read Lord of the Rings or War and Peace. Or anything by Cecelia Ahearn.


  • Posts: 21,679 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Oh I second Cecilia Aherne.

    Ayn Rand can also feck off. Tolstoy and Dickens as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    The Bible!

    Ulysses ... I have tried and I just cant. Its a sh*t book that people have gone proper shouty crackers over for some reason and that more than anything makes me really dislike it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    Neither Ulysses or the Bible for me too. Any book on mindfulness either, the very word enrages me !

    Mindfulness as a mental health technique is very good and so simple I could explain it in 10 minutes easily! How anyone could genuinely write a book about it I don't know.

    Oh yeah, you can add anything to do with Reiki, chakras, aura's, crystals or homeopathy to that list. They all need to get in the bag and never mind the stick I'm holding.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    But without books on homeopathy, how would we know that water has memory? It can remember healing remedies that have been diluted to trace amounts and that time you used it to wash the vomit out of the bath!

    I have Brian O'Driscolls bio here since my brother thought it would be a good christmas present. Well, he probably knew it wasn't and just picked up the first thing he saw. He is, Brian O'Driscoll that is, a class A cnut. I will happily give it away to anyone here who wants it. You pay postage or drop by and pick it up.

    'Celeb' autobiographies. Im sure some are good but im talking about the likes of the Geordie Shore cast and similar.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,920 ✭✭✭TG1


    The procrastination equation. Someone thought it would be a really good present for me, but like, if I had time to read I'd have time to do all the other stuff I've put off doing!

    I'd be surprised if any of those knuckle draggers were able to write their name let alone a book.

    Anything craft related... I will never make a patchwork quilt.

    Anything misery lit, jeez that stuff would depress anyone.

    Chick lit, for that matter, vomit inducing stuff.

    Codebooks- can't figure them out.

    And bankbooks- all online these days.

    Pocketbooks- just should stay in my pocket, not for reading.

    Psalmbooks- for singing, not reading.

    Audiobook- don't think i'll ever get to read one of those.

    Scrapbook- RUBBISH!

    I read Asking for It before I realised she was a moron. Waste of time!

    I'll never read Catcher in the Rye because it will either a) disappoint me or b) be excellent and I'll feel guilty as it was loved by Mark David Chapman.

    I read it once. Wasn't bad, but it's a bit depressing in places, funny in others.
    Wouldn't be bothered reading it again, though.

    Lord of the Rings... Even though I'm a massive Sci-fi/fantasy bookworm.

    Tried it once when I was in my 20s and didn't get past the first chapter. Not bothering again

    A brief history of time....just too much for me

    Did you ever hear the one about the toad and the frog?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,274 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    Any of Harry Potter.
    Never seen the movies either.
    I'd have to be paid a 3 figure sum to sit through that weird sh-t.
