I liked most of the books that I had to read for school, but there was one book that I absolutely loathed and that was The Cave by Jose Saramago. Why do I loathe this book? Let me count the ways ( Read more... )

Required Reading That Shouldn't Be Required

This wasn't ever required reading for me, but I know a few people who have had to read this for school.

I read it on my own and found it completely and utterly boring.

I have three books in all, all of them were set books for O'level English (UK 1980's ish) I really don't want to start any controversy here but I hate these books with a fiery passion and have never read anything else that these authors have written ( Read more... )

A Required Reading Fail involving Kites

almightyspaz wrote in bookfails Mar 03, 2010 18:50

All right, I'll admit it, I didn't care for the novel Kite Runner. It was an interesting story about the Middle East (though I've read better novels dealing with the subject) but here's where the fail really comes in thanks to the parents of my school ( Read more... )

The Crucible

peefy wrote in bookfails Mar 02, 2010 22:39

Alright, now before I begin; this is actually more of a teacher/educational institute fail. I really do like The Crucible. It's no where near the radar of fail simply because of how brilliantly it's written (whether you like it or not).

But it showed up on a fail list, and there was disagreement, and it got me thinking: after I first read The ( Read more... )

Required Reading Fail: Temple of my Familiar or Temple of What the hell?

I am also ( Read more... )

Required Reading Fail: Wuthering Heights

paidmydebts wrote in bookfails Mar 02, 2010 11:42

Sadly, I can't go into the amount of detail for a criticism that I would like for my personal standard about this book because I simply have not been able to bring myself to read it again. This book is the only one that I remember positively despising throughout my English curriculum, aside from Mayor of Casterbridge ( Read more... )
