A Book You Will Never Read

[jon1jt]

What is one book you know of that you will never read? perhaps this book annoys you for merely existing! :lol: name the book and why you won't be reading it.


i'll start: DaVinci Code.
Grrrrr.

[McGrain]

Mein Kampf would be a good place to start!

[kiz_paws]

All righty then, the book I shall never set eyes within: Business at the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy, written by Bill Gates

Why? Well, this just seems to be the epitome of boring books ... but of course this is subjective. :)

right on---that one and the other one he wrote, The Road Ahead. i remember i got it as a birthday gift once. ugh. it's not subjective, that book just sucks. :D

[toni]

The Alchemist, most defenitely.

[Niamh]

wuthering heights.

[McGrain]

Wuthering Heights and The Alchemist...these are really interesting picks, fancy tellling my why? I've read both of them and wish i hadn't read either of them, that's why i'm asking.

Well i started reading wuthering heights and it annoyed me so much i stopped all most haly way and have never picked it up to finish and never will. has been about 7 years and the book mark is still in it. Have no intentions of picking it up and starting again.

That'll be one for leaving in the bus stop/coffee shop then. Though i did that with a copy of Things Fall Apart that had my then girlfriends phone number in at and some idiot started calling her. Made me very popular.

[Bysshe]

Any of the numerous sequels, or whatever you call them, to "A Child Called It".

Never ever ever.

I was trying to think of books I hated the other day, and I suddenly remembered how much I loathed A Child Called It. So nothing in the world would induce me to read any of Pelzer's other novels.

I would start to defend Wuthering Heights but I appreciate it's a matter of personal taste. :S

[Domer121]

Da Vinci Code..... No desire to read it at all..

[andave_ya]

I second that Domer.

[THX-1138]

anything by Mitch Albom i have read (the five people you meet in heaven) and i really didn't like his style and the whole book was stupid, and might say also anything by Paulo Coelho,although i got to say i loved his novel (The Alchemist) but then i read (Veronica decides to die) which was a useless one so i decided not to read any book by him .

[Domer121]

Have you read Tuesdays with Morrie???
I liked it a lot..

another book I will never read..That one Brittany Spears wrote.... or those Pamela Anderson books..

[Schokokeks]

The Alchemist.
I heartily second that. Sadly, I have read it and regretted having done so.
I'll then go for Coelho's other books, I don't imagine them to be much different.

I have also fixed my mind never to read anything by Nicholas Sparks. I saw a movie that was an adaption of one of his books, and I really don't want to learn more about stories of that kind :rolleyes:.

[grace86]

My soon to be mother in law gave me one of Nicholas Sparks' newest novels. I think it is called Dear John.



I kind of just hid it away somewhere.

[JBI]

Anything by Tom Clancy.

[SleepyWitch]

*any of the trash you sometimes get loads of at Oxfam etc, i mean the pulpy romance kind of stuff with titles that have "passion" or something about second chances, reunions, happy couplings etc.. :)

*DaVinci Code

*Finnegan's Wake or Ulysses

[Jordy]

Totally agree. Tom Clancy and anything else of that kind. And love novels :)

[Basil]

[grace86]

That was a good one Basil...I totally share your opinion in not reading THAT one.

[B-Mental]

That one Brittany Spears wrote.... or those Pamela Anderson books..

Ohh, another sign that the end is nigh...when celebrities write. I always thought I would never read the DaVinci Code, but I was out of books, and it was left laying around. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was so formulaic. I also read Killers and Angels(?) and it was like reading the same book, only worse. Lots of good options, but I never say never...Never.

[Scheherazade]

I am seriously wondering whether I will ever read LOTR series...
anything by Mitch Albom i have read (the five people you meet in heaven) and i really didn't like his style and the whole book was stupid I read Five People (the only Albom book I have read) and I liked it. It was a nicely told feel-good story and Albom's writing style, in my opinion, is much better than some other writers I have read.
http://covers.allbookstores.net/c/1127410133/book/full/1577193563Basil,

Isn't that the picture you of you sent to me??? Why is it on the cover of that book??? :confused:

[McGrain]

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1951/1577193563rz8.jpg

I kind of want to read this. Just to see if it's as horrible as it looks.

[B-Mental]

Would everyone please stop posting this lunatic's book...I'm coming undone.

[Scheherazade]

Would everyone please stop posting this lunatic's book...I'm coming undone.Guess now we all know what to get for B-Mental on his birthday...

[B-Mental]

Oh Noes, its the dreaded moderator teasing me...*runs away and hides*

[McGrain]

What is it that he's hungry for? The fork tells me food, but the desperation in his eyes tells me it's love.

[kiz_paws]

right on---that one and the other one he wrote, The Road Ahead. i remember i got it as a birthday gift once. ugh. it's not subjective, that book just sucks. :D

Yes... This guy should stick to what he does best... and writing books is NOT it, lol! :sick:

[subterranean]

The Alchemist, most defenitely.

By Paulo Coelho? And why is that?

The books that I most unlikely choose not to read are those ones on the self-help section about how to get richer. :sick: And I read one of those Potter books (Chamber of Secret) and don't feel like reading the other titles.

good questions, sub. i was thinking the same when i read toni's post about the Coelho book. i haven't actually read it, so i'm curious. what's up with that book, toni??? :)

[kiz_paws]

Would everyone please stop posting this lunatic's book...I'm coming undone.

That gave me the laugh that I needed to get over the day that I had. :lol:

No offense to those who love Mr. Simmons, but who the h*** is interested in his passion for food (or what-other??) after all this time? I mean, really, has he not milked this cash cow for a long enough time? ! Sheesh! And no, I'll not set an eyeball in that book either, for the records... :sick:

:lol: great point! the last i remember he was jumping around all over TV selling some flippy weight loss program. my question is, how does a doof like richard simmons become richard simmons, pop-guru author? ugh.

[Stieg]

Commonly consider War and Peace and Ulysses untouchable.

[SleepyWitch]

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1951/1577193563rz8.jpg

who is this bloke?
why is there a dead poodle on his head????
why does he look like his face is smothered in that orange make-up stuff they use on the telly?
hasn't anyone ever told him purple and orange don't go together?


ooooh, i hadn't thought of books by celebrities at all.

[manolia]

By Paulo Coelho? And why is that?

The books that I most unlikely choose not to read are those ones on the self-help section about how to get richer. :sick: And I read one of those Potter books (Chamber of Secret) and don't feel like reading the other titles.

I agree with both. Self help books suck. I tried to read one once. It was strongly recommended to me by a friend and it was SO boring. I only read a few pages. So i definetely avoid the whole genre.

The same with Potter books. Having seen the movies, it seems like a cocktail of stolen ideas. But then again this is subjective. Maybe if i was younger i would give it a go.

As for Coelho i think he is overrated as an author, but not bad at all. I have read the Alchemist (you can read it in a few hours. I read it in a sleepless night), Veronica decides to die (this one i liked) and 11 minutes.

[Katie-Lou]

Books like stupid little blond girls autobiogrpahies. Paris Hiltion, that one thats going out with Wayne Rooney and the one that won Big Brother last year and married that singer guy. They all sound sooooo pants :D

[dramasnot6]

Any vacuos, cheap romance novels with a heaving bosom and fabio on the cover. :sick: They detract from the sum of human intellect.

Great thread jon! :D

[kiz_paws]

:lol: great point! the last i remember he was jumping around all over TV selling some flippy weight loss program. my question is, how does a doof like richard simmons become richard simmons, pop-guru author? ugh.

Your question really made me think, Jon. How INDEED has this happened?

Let me compliment you on this GREAT THREAD, enjoying it immensely!

[grace86]

Cheap romance novels...barf....eeeggghh...eeeeww...blaggghhh....

Sorry, but I tend to get queasy when I find someone reading those. Those are definitly on my "Never Ever Read List."

[Thatch]

Self help books suck.

The part I really don’t understand is if you’re looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? That’s not self-help, that’s help.
:lol:

Books I wouldn't read, hmm . . . I probably would never read anything by Stephen King.

[Adudaewen]

Any vacuos, cheap romance novels with a heaving bosom and fabio on the cover. :sick: They detract from the sum of human intellect.

Amen, they don't even count as reading, it takes no braincells to do so. I made the mistake of skimming through books written by Nora Wells, and Daniel Steel, and Cassie Edwards and they all read like sleezy Cinemax pornography. Definitly don't care for that particular "desperate housewives" genre.

[Demona]

Lolita is definitely on my never-never list....I simply loathe the idea...

[manolia]

Lolita is definitely on my never-never list....I simply loathe the idea...

I also loathe the idea, but the Kubrick film was fantastic, so i don't know. Maybe the book is nice too. I have not read it, but while searching for lists with good books (there are several in the net. If you give the phrase "100 best books" or something to that effect you get lists. I always browse through them to find something good to read and so far it works. My favorite is from the newspaper Observer and that of "the New York times". And guess what? Lolita is in almost every list). So i am thinking to overcome my prejudice and someday give it a try.;)

[Scheherazade]

Lolita is a great book (I am sure many on here would agree with me) and you might be missing out a lot by refusing to read flatly.

[Domer121]

I read it... I don't think there is much to miss out on....Yes, the first 50 or s pages are somewhat interesting....but after that it becomes even worse and even worse until finally.....it is over... I think that was my best memory of the book....and I do apologize to those who admire the work..

[ejarg7]

Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. Actually, I read it and regretted reading it. Blurrgh...

[jon1jt]

another book i'll never read is Tolstoy's War and Peace. i read his Anna Karenina and that book was absolutely horrible.

thanks kiz/dramas!

[THX-1138]

Have you read Tuesdays with Morrie???
I liked it a lot..

no i didn't , really coz i hated his style, maybe one day i'll change my mind and read it if its good.

[B-Mental]

another book i'll never read is Tolstoy's War and Peace. i read his Anna Karenina and that book was absolutely horrible.


I've seen other people make this mistake. War & Peace is truly a masterpiece. I didn't feel that way about Anna Karenina. I've read it twice and read chapters when I have a little time on this sight. Its slow to begin, but it really is an awe inspiring book as Tolstoy weaves his characters into historical fact.

Anna K was Tolstoy's first novel, if I'm not mistaken, and it shows.

[Demona]

Lolita is a great book (I am sure many on here would agree with me) and you might be missing out a lot by refusing to read flatly.

I really don't mind missing it.

[Tuesday]

Uh, now you made me really curious: What's so bad about Coelho? I have never read one of his books myself, but I seem to encounter them almost everywhere these days. And a lot of people seem to be quite fond of them.

[Dante Wodehouse]

I also loathe the idea, but the Kubrick film was fantastic, so i don't know. Maybe the book is nice too. I have not read it, but while searching for lists with good books (there are several in the net. If you give the phrase "100 best books" or something to that effect you get lists.

Lolita is in almost every list). So i am thinking to overcome my prejudice and someday give it a try.;)

Well, it's a given that Kubrick films will be fantastic :) (except for A Clockwork Orange, which I haven't seen).

[manolia]

Well, it's a given that Kubrick films will be fantastic :) (except for A Clockwork Orange, which I haven't seen).

I agree!! Do see the clockwork orange. One of his best movies;)

[Dante Wodehouse]

I will probably never pick up a book entitled Conely's Guide to the Esophagus. Horse books are also rather low on my list of what I will ever read, as are paperback mysteries with one-worded reviews on the back such as ....witty.... or .....twisted..... as this generally means that the publisher used the slightly legal cut-and-paste.

[optimisticnad]

1. Anything business related.
2. Anything by Dan Brown.
3. Anything by Jeffrey Archer

lots more but thats enough for now. goodnight (and goodluck)

[aydin]

Tuesday, my personal opinion on Coelho is that he just tries to be deeper than he is. I read one of his books as my sister is a fan and doubt I'll be trying another. Still, perhaps this is better than not trying at all and writing a load of rubbish just to bring in the cash.

Books I doubt I'll ever read - media-celebrity autobiographies.

[Nick Rubashov]

I don't see myself daring to read any Ayn Rand novels or Les Miserables in my lifetime. I might give War and Peace a read, depending on my experiences with other Russian novels.

[Stieg]

I've heard War and Peace can have exciting parts but also heard it has some really dull bits like a 80 page essay on agriculture in great depth and detail by which the novel descriptively follows seasons, harvests, etc.

[Janine]

Anything by Nicholas Sparks
Anything by Nora Roberts
Anything by Danielle Steel

Ick, ick, ick!

[jon1jt]

Anything by Nicholas Sparks
Anything by Nora Roberts
Anything by Danielle Steel

Ick, ick, ick!

i tried reading Steel's Toxic Bachelors. :lol:

[Janine]

Jon, Sounds bad, was it? I think she writes at least one novel a day or maybe give her a week. Formula novels I heard. One story on a hard-drive and change a few names and instances and wala - a new novel out fresh from the press next day. Whenever I am at my library they have tons of her books in the give away bins. I went to a used book sale in a neighboring town - same deal. I got sick of seeing her name in print! I vowed I would never read a book by her.

[higley]

I agree with Janine. Those three authors are on the top of my 'avoid always' list.

Also: The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie. I die a little whenever that's on a featured bookshelf next to a book that won the Pulitzer.

[Bebbin]

Any vacuos, cheap romance novels with a heaving bosom and fabio on the cover. :sick: They detract from the sum of human intellect.
I concur. Added to that would be celebrity autobiographies and such, any books by Dan Brown, Nicholas Sparks or Nora Roberts, business-related books or self-help books.

To a person who likes to give any book a chance, the ones I mentioned are just absolute no-nos. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/sad/sad0020.gif

[toni]

Well i started reading wuthering heights and it annoyed me so much i stopped all most haly way and have never picked it up to finish and never will. has been about 7 years and the book mark is still in it. Have no intentions of picking it up and starting again.


funny, Lain bought the book a long time ago and fell in love with it. I thought I would like it, but I read it half way, and forgot about it, then picked it up again, read a third of the book-then forget it again. I did that 5 times! And still counting.

[Mrs. Dalloway]

Danielle Steel :sick: :rage:

[Janine]

Any biographies by
George W. Bush
Laurie Bush
George Bush, Sr.
Barbara Bush

Actually most modern day political biographies. The above list is just an example of one political family. Sorry to be so political.

[Janine]

Any autobiography or biography of:

Monica Lewinsky

[Janine]

Anything written by Howard Stern

[Virgil]

Anything written by Howard Stern

I agree whole heartedly, Janine. :lol:

[AdoreroDio]

Marie Antoinette -my friend ( a history buff) is reading it and it's basically a text book. BAH HUMBUG to all textbook books that pose as novels.

[hockeychick8792]

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea...
The only problem with this is that I have to read it now for Eniglish. :(

[hockeychick8792]

Marie Antoinette -my friend ( a history buff) is reading it and it's basically a text book. BAH HUMBUG to all textbook books that pose as novels.

I agree with that any textbook book shouldn't be allowed out side a college or school. It is BORING!!!:crash:

[Janine]

I think someone else mentioned this, but thought I would agree and mention it again -
any cheap paperback romance novel, with gorgeous people clutching each other in a passionate embrace on the cover. (usually the guy has massive muscles and bare arms and the woman is showing her cleavage and has long flowing beautiful hair....ick. You can just tell this book is going to be a winner, they really look cheesy. My library sells them in a basket at the front counter - 25 cents each, used. I feel nausiated just looking that direction.

[Scheherazade]

Beginning to wonder whether I am the junkie of the Forum as I have read almost every single genre or author listed in the thread. What's even worse is that I know that I would read them again. I think there is a time and place for everything (even for cheap romances or Dan Browns) and it is more fun to badmouth a book/author after reading them rather than doing so blindly.

I know I said earlier that I might ever read LOTR triology but I know that I will anyway sometime during the next two years (I am just a little sick of the over-exposure at the moment).

[Dante Wodehouse]

Any book based off of a video game, i.e. Halo (I'm not kidding, they have a book series of Halo).

[beat wanderer]

I can agree with most of the things said here, but it sounds like Dan Brown is getting a bit of a bum wrap.

Okay there isn't much artistic depth to his books but they are usually an enjoyable read. I agree about Paulo Coelo though, i wasn't that impressed by the alchemist and then i started another of his books the Zahir and was put off immediately.

What the hell is that guys obsession with Alchemy?

And above all those romantic novels uggggggggghhhhh..... My mother reads them all the time. I shudder everytime i see her with one in her hand. No matter how much i nag her about it she refuses to pick up anything with any integrity more than once a year.

[kiz_paws]

And above all those romantic novels uggggggggghhhhh..... My mother reads them all the time. I shudder everytime i see her with one in her hand. No matter how much i nag her about it she refuses to pick up anything with any integrity more than once a year.

These romantic 'novels' -- just a comment. Personally I don't even think that such trash rates the term 'novel'. Perhaps a better term 'drivel' might be better? Nonetheless, I agree with all on the one sentiment ugggggggh!! :sick:

[Robert Jordan]

ahaha, War and Peace possibly. I only know one person I've come across who could actually finish it.

[Niamh]

Cecilia Ahern books...i refuse to read them...never never never will i read them.

[Scheherazade]

Cecilia Ahern books...i refuse to read them...never never never will i read them.Is she related to Bertie Ahern?

[Janine]

The Phone Book - from cover to cover I mean!

[Niamh]

Is she related to Bertie Ahern?

Yes. She is his Daughter. Probably the only reason why she got published in the first place. And now disney have jumped on the band wagon and are making one of her books into a movie. Probably only so they can get some free filming time in ireland or something.

[Niamh]

The Phone Book - from cover to cover I mean!

:lol: i second that!

[rae_of_light]

Eragon. This book just sounds like such trash, from what I've heard about it. Its written by an unexperienced teenager too...

[Janine]

Private Parts ~ book about Howard Stern

[papayahed]

Private Parts ~ book about Howard Stern


Finally! I've been racking my brain trying to think of something I will never read. I have to agree with Private Parts.

[kiz_paws]

Ah yes, Howard Stern's ramblings... I forgot about that one, and I also agree with the consensus... :sick:

[Scheherazade]

The Phone Book - from cover to cover I mean!Why not?? I admit it gets a little monotonous when you hit the Browns and Smiths but apart from that it is very informative! At least London one is! :p
Yes. She is his Daughter. Probably the only reason why she got published in the first place. And now disney have jumped on the band wagon and are making one of her books into a movie. Probably only so they can get some free filming time in ireland or something.Hah! Today I saw one of her books on display in the library (I remembered her name because you had mentioned earlier, I think) and was tempted to borrow it but now you really piqued my interest! Will have to read at least one of her books and see it for myself! :D

Do you know which one is being made into a movie?

*edit*

Oh, never mind. I think it is PS: I Love You.

I have never read a romance novel cover to cover. But, if you happen to find your grandma's romance novel stashed between the couch cushions and you have a few friends over and couple of beers, you might try reading certain parts a loud ---- they're hilarious! (e.g. her hips moved to the turbulent rhythm of Brahms sp?)..." :lol: )

[aydin]

Cecilia Ahern books...i refuse to read them...never never never will i read them.

Oh, but although they can't exactly be called intelligent reading, I found that there is a lot of heart in her stories! There are much worse books out there...

[Dorian Gray]

LOTR
Narnia possibly
Eragon (I thought the film was so-so)

I actually DO want to read War and Peace, Wuthering Heights (already read the first few pages), etc.

[EAP]

Hmm.

Hal Duncan's Vellum
Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code
Joyce's Finnegan's Wake
Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
Kerouck's On The Road

The list is endless.

[Demona]

EAP, what Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby did to you? I think the book is great! and On the road.....not so bad either :D

[liesl]

i vowed as a young(er) girl never to read Harry Potter, i think i was 11 or so when Harry Potter was first published and though my nana offered to buy it for me i refused and made the vow. Perhaps it was because everyone i knew raved about it and their enthusiasm put me off, who knows?.

[Dorian Gray]

Harry Potter is fun. You should read it sometime. I enjoy a bit of light reading every now and then.

[bazarov]

I've heard War and Peace can have exciting parts but also heard it has some really dull bits like a 80 page essay on agriculture in great depth and detail by which the novel descriptively follows seasons, harvests, etc.

You've heard it wrong:lol:

I don't know do I really have to say that celebrities ''auto''biographies will never come to my hands...
Dan Brown is definitely first on the list, I would like to meet him him in a closed dark street:smash: :brickwall
Harry Potter is also very questionable...

[liesl]

Harry Potter is fun. You should read it sometime. I enjoy a bit of light reading every now and then.


for light reading i find i tend to read horrible histories or charlotte's web. thats when i get time to do light reading! which is few and far between what with university reading lists and dissertation :bawling:

i refused to read Lord of the Rings for the same reason when i was younger, but when i finally read it I was glad i'd changed my mind. sometimes (not very often in my opinion ;) ) lots of people like the same book not because they're a bunch of idiots who are following a trend but because the book is actually good :)
well, Harry Potter is not all it's cracked up to be, but it's a nice quick read and good entertainment anyway :)

[EAP]

Demona,

Pot influenced, acid tripping stream-of-concious travelogues aren't my literature of choice - personal choice. Regarding Gatsby, I read a few indepth reviews which put me off it quite a bit. I don't hate it or anything, I just think for me it won't be an interesting, entertaining read.

[Asa Adams]

You've heard it wrong:lol:

Whoa! Gonna start your own C and P Baz, ol' buddy?! Put down the Axe!!!:p :lol:

[Stieg]

Anything by James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver, and their junk novel ilk.

Anything by Dean R Koontz, I confess I was a fan as a teen, but definitely not sure my favorites from the days of old Watchers, Phantoms, and Midnight can still stand up today. These syrupy adult Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys styled horror mysteries make King literally look like Shakespeare.

Ulysses.

My profesor talked so much about it - no matter what period or style we were supposed to study she always somehow turned it to Ulysses, saying how it is a great book but only few people are inteligent and educated enough to understand it - that I began to hate that book.

[hyperinsomnia]

"Dating Hamlet"
There's a book that makes me mad! ... The nerve!

I also quite disliked the parts of Jane Eyre that I actually read.

Not that I have anything against feminists.

[Matrim Cuathon]

i can read basically anything, although i mostly read fantasy/epicfantasy/science fiction.
if my friends knew some of the things i read i would be the object of lots of ridicule simply because i am not close minded about books. actually, nvm. none of them read books at all. so, they wouldnt know enough about the books to attack me.

[toni]

"Confessions of a Shopaholic" and books of the like...
They should cease putting those on shelves..

[bazarov]

ahaha, War and Peace possibly. I only know one person I've come across who could actually finish it.

What a mistake...Actually, I don't know anybody:lol:

[Countess]

I will never read anything by Nickolas Sparks because I've advanced beyond
3rd grade and no longer desire to read on that grade level.

Hmm...well, I read the Da Vinci code and I wish i hadn't wasted my time. It was so similar to Angels and Demons, only the latter was much better. It just got all the hype because of the bloodline. But, back to the question. I dont think that I would read "The Devil wears Prada"...It is of very little intrest to me. :lol:

I've given up on Pride and Prejudice. Maybe I've seen too many movie versions. I've tried reading it maybe three or four times but just can't make it through. I will try other Austen though.

I could not name a precise book that i will never read. I can name books that i've read and they wasted my time or dissapointed me. I think it's kind of superficial to say something about a book you've never read. Read it and than you can comment all you like, while really knowing what you're talking about .....
