Coin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I expect that I will garner some flack for the following selection of titles, but here goes and in no particular order: *Lord of the Flies - William Golding *To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee *The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald *Romeo & Juliet, as well as Macbeth - William Shakespeare - Actually, anything written by Shakespeare *Picnic at Hanging Rock - Joan Lindsey It's not so much that I think these titles are inherently boring or bad, but rather, I believe high school English classes have ruined them. At least, for me, they did. Honourable mention to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I mean, I enjoyed reading them, but they are so incredibly dry and I couldn't in good faith recommend them to anyone.

Funkjunky Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 To add in my thought... Tess of the d'Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy -Great social commentary...great story? no not at all. The ending was so anti climatic, the author focused 4 pages on a field rather than the death. The main character was so fake and unbelievable too. Jane Eyre.... -There was like no plot....

Audiophile Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Romeo and Juliet. Mother of god, they made us read that book in grade 9 and then again in grade 10. To be fair, I had changed high schools but still... The Outsiders was ok but that was back in grade 7 when I read often. Lord of the Flies.....hated it. 1984. I found it tolerable near the end but it was hard to get into. Hamlet. Macbeth. Myriad of other books that I don't even remember at this point. Ray Bradbury....Fahrenheit 451 “There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing.” Edited May 5, 2014 by Audiophile Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/706257-most-boring-book-youve-read/#findComment-1065319481 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that had I not read it in a school setting, especially in the way that it was read i.e. people in the class reading paragraphs one by one....then I'd have enjoyed it a lot more.

Flūttershy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Catcher in the Rye. ...Was a really good book that everyone seems to hate. But to be honest, as much as I enjoy reading sometimes I can never bring myself to read most the books our highschool wants us to read. I have no doubt that they are technically great, but I want to read what I want to read, not what they want me to.

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Oliver Twist was pretty awful. I gave up less than halfway through. Oliver Twist is a poor orphan, he inspires disgust in the Victorian people, Oliver Twist is a poor orphan, he inspires disgust in the Victorian people, Oliver Twist discovers The Artful Dodger and Master Bates with him, Oliver Twist is a poor orphan, he inspires disgust in the Victorian people, Oliver Twist is a poor orphan, he inspires disgust in the Victorian people. Worst book I read for school was Frankenstein. It's twelve pages of exposition, thirty pages of what would make a nice short story, and a hundred and fifty pages of whining.
