A Thousand Acres. I felt like I was being punished the whole time I was reading it.

Argh, me too. There's no point in reading it unless you anticipate being stuck in the middle of nowhere and need to learn how to survive. You know he's gonna get rescued.

ttyl... I can't even begin to say how much I hate that book.

books aren't meant to be a self-help tutorial or a learning guide.

I reallyyyy disliked ttyl too. I thought it would be kinda interesting, the format and all, but I didn't even manage to finish it. Partly because it was due back at the library, but also 'cause I lost interest in it.

Hatchet. And The Cay. Oh, dear God. We went through this phase in elementary school, and all we were forced to read were books about survival. It was HORRIBLE.

I also hate books about books. What's the point of writing a 2 inch book on the secrets behind the Da Vinci Code, or J.K. Rowling's success with Harry Potter?

I really hate the SV Twin series. It's so... guasdhf. and it makes me want to shoot myself.

Fearless is a little better, though.

Basically, me & Francine Pascal have a love-hate relationship. Some of her books are just plain bullshit, but then others are pretty fun for a light read.

Dan Brown's novels.

The DaVinci Code was overrated, damnit. It was a well writted romance novel disguised as a suspense thriller. As was Angels & Demons and Deception Point.

I was in love with the boxcar children but that was in 3rd grade.

I think that the Fearless series are usually light reads to. I get those done in a day or two tongue.gif

Go Ask Alice is an olddd book. My mom told me it was really popular when she was growing up.

Over the summer, I read like... every single book James Patterson wrote. I don't know why, since I really don't like James Patterson's writing at all. His characters are pretty much flat, and his villains are always twisted in the same exact way. Maybe it's just for the little thrill.

If anyone ever wants to read a thriller... don't do it. Just watch a movie. "Thriller" books always end up dissappointing me.
