That is simple! It was "The Process" written by one of the most popular German (he lived in the Czech Republic) authors. Kafka. The book seemed to me like thoughts of a man with serious psychological problems, but of course it is a masterpiece for everyone who studied (German) literature  .

QUOTE(ramon @ Apr 5 2005, 10:44 AM) nice topic, cant really think of the worst book I've ever read, most likely because I have read so many that I cant remember all of them. Espesially the worst ones. Anyway how about Windows xp for dummies or something like that. I tried looking at the Koran before since someone asked me to and just starting off it talked about killing everyone in sight and raping young girls, which might not have been as bad as it was if it didn't use such EXTREMELY graphic terms... Maybe I just got a bad english translation but... Also, looking at stuff on Catholic doctrine (someone asked me to do it again) always is tough for me, not something I like, and reading through the extra books they've added to the Bible was a bit annoying, there was this one about a girl who had sex because she believed God told her to or something like that as well, something with a pharisee or something like that if I remember right, and I was just like *blecch*

For me it was The Satanic Bible by Anton Levay. To this day I have never finished it. I instead threw it across the room. Hard. Why was I reading it? A friend of mine loved it ( he thought he was Satanic but he was about as "evil" and "hardcore" as a lop eared bunny) and so to try and figure out where his views were and where he was coming from on things I took a stab at it. Now that I think about it I really should have stabbed the book. It was THAT bad. The first page gave you like the 11 statements of Satanism. That truely is all you have to read. The chapters are nothing more than long, hateful expansions on the small sentences on that first page. There is nothing educational or enlightening about the book nor does it have anything remotely entertaining about it. It's just full of wrath, hate and a self justified anger. The only kudos I can give Anton is making boogoo bucks off of 11 sentences. UGH! That book was baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd!

I'm probably the only one who will say this, but Conrad's Heart of Darkness is the one book I read that I truly, truly hated. I can't really pinpoint why...but I think it had something to do with the way the actions they observed were all "pointless." I'm sure the book is full of symbolism and has all sorts of deep meaning, but I was never really into that stuff...I just like a good read

Terry Goodkind's "bestseller" about the Seeker and the Mother Confessor (I can never remember the title) was barely endurable. I could see the world had more scope and potential to develop but the sequel blew the whole premise out of the water. That one I couldn't make it 1/3rd of the way in before I annotated a major flaw and put it down for good.

I'm going to be honest and say Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Calling him a master of the English language is like calling Ghengis Khan a master of peaceful diplomacy. The book is utter crap in my opinion. Yes, it does do a good job of informing the reader what society was like at the time, but guess what - society was BORING under Puritan control. I read the first chapter, which was a 3 page description of a prison door and a rose (might sound interesting or poetic, but it's hardly either) and the first few pages of the second chapter. After that I simply couldn't take it. Overall, from what I read (and friends who actually read the book for English classes have informed me that the rest of the book fits this description as well), there are numerous pages dedicated to describing virtually insignificant actions which do not add to the plot or the experience (unless you consider the experience an exercise in literary torture or a cruel test of the boredom threshhold), and the reader doesn't feel much after completing the book other than "Wow, I've wasted a lot of time reading this book [or attempting to]."

Windows Xp Sp2 Restarting After Some Time
(6) Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses

Time Travel - An Impossibility?
Is time travel possible? Will we ever manage it? What are the dangers? (14) Ok, I dont really know anything about the subject. But I just spend a lot of time thinking about
this kind of thing, so thought i would post my thoughts and ideas, and see what people think. First
of all; What do people mean by "time travel" Now, i think most people think of traveling back or
forward in time, and being in a certain place at a certain time, in full body, when they think of
time travel. But is that possible? But surely time travel could just be seing, history, or future.
And how would it work? Surely it would involve opening time, and placing yourself, i....

has their own destiny so being rich and poor is not what they choose, its their destiny, that is
what is believed in my country. With such a thought, people cannot advance in their life, they are

Another Cust. Service Rant... This Time As A Customer

in the line of customer service, and I have come to the conclusion, there are different levels you
can provide. True customer service is hardly ever given anymore. For example, I ordered from
McDonalds recently and I ordered a McFlurry and a Sundae. I was given a McFlurry and a Shake. It was
at the start of a minor busy period (3 or 4 people were behind me waiting to order), so I waited
until the others were served, and I said to the lady that served me in a polite tone, "I....

can be very irratating. Imagine your PC speaker, if you have one, bleeping out the same high pitch
