What are the worst books you've finished?

Julie @movicont (494) • United States 23 Apr 09

What are the worst books that you've actually managed to finish? For me it would probably be Eragon, as I thought the plot was extremely overused and ill-defined. In general though, I don't finish books that deem bad, so my...

handsomeitaliano @handsomeitaliano (1050) • United States 24 Apr 09

I'm just wondering, I've heard that it doesn't matter and the answer can vary but just thought I'd see what you all would think. I'm writing a novel that is based on true events that happened to me in the past. It's sort of a long...

micpie94 I really don't think it matters. Many books have chapters that are roughly 20 pages long, but some books I have read have chapters that are aroung 3-5. Robert B. Parker's books have chapters that are really short, but are 280 pages total. So he ends up having...

micpie94 I like paperback because they are usually smaller and more convenient to carry around. However, hardcovers usually seem to be in way better condition. My paperbacks almost always have a bend on the cover before I am done reading them.

CRSunrise @CRSunrise (2981) • United States 28 Feb 09

I tried to write a book when I was in high school. I actually got a few chapters typed out, but I sorta lost interest, or something. There were times when I knew what I wanted to write, but I couldn't seem to get the words to flow...

micpie94 I start writing a story, then after a few weeks i lose interest. I mean i want to write, but thinking of the words occurs so much faster than writing them down on paper. I know one day, when i'm out of school and have a little more time on my hand and...

micpie94 I am in high school and have thought of a few good book ideas. I started on called "Nightmare Alley", but only wrote a few pages. I think the idea of being an author is so great that we think we'll write a book, but we most likely never follow up on the plan....

micpie94 I think it was a good choice so McCain will be able to get more of the woman's vote. But I don't think they are going to appeal to the homosexual people because in today's speech I heard that she was very much against gay marriage. I hope Mccain wins the...

micpie94 When I had my cell phone i would text more because i preferred it to talking. I knew it would take longer to text and would cost more money to get my message to people, but I looked forward to looking at my phone and seeing "1 new text".
