Book You Just Can't Do
Mine is Pride and Prejudice. I read so many other similar books and when I had to read it for class I was honestly excited. Some of my friends and my mom had read it before and said it was great and then I read it and I just couldn't do it! I didn't like it! I was so bummed but I didn't like it. I thought it was because I was reading it for school, but when I read it again for fun in college...still no. I almost feel guilty for not liking it but it just doesn't do it for me.
Anyone else? A classic that you hate? Your best friend orequest significant other's favorite and you couldn't even read half of it?

The Fifty Shades books were a "No" for me too! Fortunately, there are some worthwhile erotica to read. I'm in the process of reviewing one right now, and it's a breath of fresh air after attempting to read E.L. James's books.Celticlady wrote:For me it was the Fifty Shades books, I am not a prude by any means, but a book that has bondage in it and is poorly written is just not for me...Happy Holidays!

Me too! My first thought seeing this topic was Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.jamesabr wrote: ↑20 Dec 2016, 15:37The Fifty Shades books were a "No" for me too!

I have had this block about reading Paolo Coelho, because in Estonia at one time everyone thought he was the sun and the moon, because his books were always published with loads of marketing gimmicks and all the "celebrities" claimed reading these books changed their whole life-view and so on, so people who actually never read much of anything or at all, always claimed that Coelho was their favorite author (probably the only authors name that they could remember), so it almost became "requisite" to love Coelho to show how smart, well read and enlightened you were. I know it's very book-snobbish from me, but it kind of put me off his books.
I will probably give them a try sooner or later. Just to prove myself wrong and hopefully I'll be positively surprised that they actually are worth all the hype.

I have a friend who's a huge fan of the series and the author but I couldn't like it because I hate the heroine so much. Hahaha. To me, she is worst than Anastasia Steele.

I gave up and watched the movie, hoping it would help me understand why people loved it so much. The movie was equally as terrible, but at least I only lost two hours of my life.

I probably also should add every Shakespeare book. I have never understood why someone would want to subject themselves to such an oldfashioned way of writing.

Other than that common answer I gave Danielle Steele two chances. What boring, simplistic stories. I will never read anything by her again.
