Unread

In the perfect follow-up to last week’s question, as suggested by C in DC:

Is there a book that you wish you could “unread”? One that  you disliked so thoroughly you wish you could just forget that you ever read it?


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    I had to think about this one. Here’s my response at Reading Upside Down.

    This should be an interesting post. Looking forward to finding out which books everyone else selected.

    This might just be the first time I’m up this high on the comments list (and the last since it’s four something in the morning)

    My page has the meme and beneath it my post for the day. It’s kinda… ugly?? I guess that’s a good word, but you know…. you can stop at the meme if you wanna!

  46. C in DC

    Thanks for using my question! I was prompted to ask because someone last week mentioned A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley as one of their favorites. This is a book that I found profoundly disturbing and truly do wish I’d never read it.

    Oops, I left this reply at Should Be Reading, so I’ll repost it here:
    Oh, do I ever! It’s called Kachima Spirit by Marilyn Meredith. I got the book at a local Book and Author festival (signed, even) and was pretty excited to read it. But, dang, DANG! It was AWful! What was worse was that it’s actually a great idea for a story, but it was so pathetically, poorly written it was painful to read! I had to follow it up with a Catherine Ryan Hyde book just to cleanse my reading palate! Now that I think about it, I bought a couple books by Reina Starr at that same book fair and they were pretty awful, too. You gotta be careful with those local, self-published authors! Happy Thursday!

    I’m late, but this question is near and dear to my heart! Unlike Kat (#3), I definitely name the offending book. There’s really only been one that left me feeling all itchy and wishing I hadn’t subjected myself to the characters, but I learned along the way that I wasn’t obliged to finish a book and it was no failure to just quit when one was so distasteful.

    Just about everything by Dan Brown and “The Unexpected Salami” by Laurie Gwen Shapiro.

  106. Susan

    The Places in Between by Rory Stewart. I know I should have liked it. I know the NYT chose it as one of the best books of the year in which it was published. I did not like it. Couldn’t understand the reason he undertook the journey. Thought most of what he encountered was depressing and somewhat chilling and finally I didn’t like the way he treated the dog.
