holy bajesus im in someones profile!! but dreamcatcher by stephen king was pretty damn bad... then you can get into all that feminist shit, thats where it all goes to hell, like the color purple... fucking school reading shit bastard cock... and i read this book by this south african lady about being insane it was called power ... something... and a lot of modernist or existentialist stuff can be damn confusing if not bad.

I loved Farenheit 451. I like all of Stenbeck's work, The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden (etc etc) but you have to have a certain appreciation to enjoy his writing.

the only pelzer books that were good were the first and second (even though they were rather disturbing) but i didn't like the third one- it was to repetative of the first two.
farenheit 451 was ok but it was hard to follow because they moveed around alot.

Yeah overall I didnt like Grapes of Wrath but you gotta respects steinbecks writing style. Its so descriptive and like all of his other stuff is good but grapes of wrath was just messed up at the end like when the chick breast feeds the dude. That was so messed

There is a genre of Canadian lit called The Prarie Novel, such as Fruits of the Earth that are the most bleak, cut your wrists boring pieces of man-against-the-earth crap I have ever come across - and that is over the course of an entire English Lit Degree.

sakespeare, tho i didnt like any of his comedies, i loved most of his tragedies...macbeth, richard III, Julius Caeser, Titus...romeo and juliet is way way overrated tho.
There isnt a single book i dont like, i have read the bible, and mein kempf. I dont know how Mein Kempf was a bad book, its just a different point of view, thats not to say i agree with it, i just try and keep an open mind when it comes to that shit.

I didn't say he sucked, I said he was hard to read, thus I wouldn't recommend it. Finnegan's Wake is probably the pinnacle of his work though.

I think a lot of Shakespeare is kind of cliched... but back in the times of when it was written it probably wasn't... I don't know. But he's alright. I love Midsummer. Great play.

yes, i agree wuthering heights was the worst book ever conceived. No plot whatsoever, it was like a boring ass 19th century soap opera.

Ok, first of all, Shakespeare didn't write cliches, he used the phrases, first and everyone else copied him, creating the cliche. Yeah, its kind of ass to read his stuff, but then its pretty hard to read a movie script too. Go and see a Shakespearian play done by a troupe that knows what he was talking about and you'll see things differently. WS was a filty, filthy man, and has plenty to say to the youth of today, its just a matter of who is reciting and acting it out.

The remake of Romeo and Julitte wasn't so bad for that to be honest.
