A Patchwork Planet - Anne Tyler
Ugh....it was like a bestseller or something....why? WHY? The whole time I sat thinking..."it will get good....right...about....well...maybe next chapter?...maybe..?" I got to the end of the book and was disgusted with myself.

Confessions of a Video Vixen
Karrine Steffans memoir. I'm a little pissy about making her pockets fatter.

He's Just Not That Into You is a load of crapola as well.

Frankenstein That was torture to read. After reading that, I don't blame the moviemakers for completely changing the movies!

I remember wading (pun intended) through "Moby Dick" because it's classic literature, and I thought I would expand my horizons. That has to be the dullest, most incomprehensible book ever! On the other hand, there are classics I've read that were fantastic, such as "Jane Eyre."

The Harry Potter books 
For me they just pale in comparison to the Chronicles of Narnia.

Lifeguard - James Patterson & True Believer - Nicholas S
Just read Lifeguard - James Patterson. Could not put it down. Finished it in 2 days. Loved it! Also read True Believer - Nicholas Sparks. Snore! Very boring. I just rented "The Notebook" on DVD and thought it was such a beautiful love story that I would start reading Nicholas Sparks books. Don't get True Believer unless you are having trouble sleeping.

Brave New World! Ugh! And to think that the frekin' school board has it down for Junior English! Classic my butt! All I could think of when reading that book was, "Yeah, right." or "Ew. Too Much Information."

Grammar books are definitely not a waste of one's time.
But I can't really say what book I've read that was a waste of my time
or even what books I've read that were a waste of my time, although I definitely thought that The Scarlet Letter and also Moby D1ck were overrated.

I just don't finish books that don't shape up into something worthwhile in the first 100 pages. 
SOOOOO many books, WAAAAY too little time to waste reading a book that doesn't grab me relatively early on.

I disagree. I'm enjoying the Scarlet Letter. Once you finish the Custom House introductory pages, the book does get better. I found The Scarlet Letter to be written expertly so far.

Amen to that! I cannot believe I bought that book. I just kept seeing her all over t.v and was curious about her story. |
