I actually loved the Scarlet Letter, though I'll admit it was kinda tedious at times. but I hated A Separate Peace. Book was trash, and there was no real redeeming message from it other than war sucks.

I've read Signs of the Gods by Erich von Daniken It was an entertaining read, actually, if you're willing to suspend your disbelief. However, considering that it is a (supposedly) non-fiction "document" explaining in great detail nearly all paranormal phenomena occurring on Earth and space, going as far as quoting select passages from certain ancient writings and taking their message as a literal truth, this is a big joke. I know, I'm supposed to be laughing but I find myself more annoyed that amused that someone would so painstakingly find conspiracies and "evidences" of a much more colorful history without enough research, save propaganda, hypotheses and speculation to back them up.

I believe myself to be an open-minded person but this is simply too much! >_<

I borrowed this book called a Legacy of Hate. Forgot the author name, but it was some Irish soap opera story about how a horrible but beautiful woman seduced some guys which led to a legacy of hate and chaos for the next generation. It's full of crap.

I'm usually very careful about what i read. I dont read a book unless I'm quite sure that I'll like it......There was this one book which i picked just because it was a book by mario puzo and that it was a best seller. It's called ' The Family'
I read the whole book but it was kinda boring and it was very slow....

Ok, I am an English major, and therefore a literature nerd, so I have a general appreciation for all books. The only book, however, that I have ever started reading and was unable to finish was Grapes of Wrath. Now, apparently it's a classic and I do know people who love the book, but I was still bored about 100 pages into it, and felt there was still no developing plot. So, if it is worth reading for the end, someone is going to have to let me know because there is no way I'm picking that one up again--Grapes of Wrath gets my vote for worst book ever.

There are so many who swear by Paul Coelho's boks - but to me, they are one hell I would rather not get into - I tried to suffer through 11 Minutes and the Devil and Miss prym...but alas! All in vain.
