One thing is to write while another is to write well. Sometimes, though, literary appreciation becomes a case of one man’s meat being another’s poison, or one man’s Indomie being another’s worm. But, seriously, are there writers whose specialty is churning out uninteresting books? I think so, though I can’t really name one of them just now. If you can, help. Which is the most uninteresting book you have read? |

That one is easy. "The Mayor of Casterbridge". Darn book positively sucks, plus i have a habit of not being able to drop a book once i pick it up. I can't imagine why it's still on high school curricula. |

The first book that comes to my mind it this M&B book. I don't remember the title but i remember the author - Betty Neels. All i remember was that was the most boring thing i had read back in jr high. Now, if i can't get past the first chapter, its out. |

AyoB: Christ! i have not even read one of his books but it is in my immediate list, as in, i plan to buy it next. DEFINITELY. so would you rather i forget it or find out for myself? |
| Re: Most Uninteresting Book You Have Read. by iice(f): 5:33pm On Jul 01, 2009 |
I think you should find out for yourself. If you into those kind of thriller/espionage thing, you might enjoy it. |

Unfortunately, I don't read books, other than 50-100 page books I can easily read in two hours and drop. |

iice: Betty Neels has got to be the most boring writer ever! One of her worst books is Pineapple Girl. The name says it all  |

My no. 1 for now is The Bourne Identity-Robert Ludlum stated reading it bout six different times before I passed the initial stages and when I started fully I couldn't put it down |

The most uninteresting book that i have ever read is the MACBETH.Too large for me to comprehend then |

I have to go with Tom Clancy. Whoever put it in his head to make a career as a writer certainly did humanity a disservice. |

Read a whole lot of them,but can remember one by Barbra Bradford Taylor,it was crazly boring ! And I had to finish it because I bought it as new. Some new Danielle Steel to deserve some awards for being sleep inducing |

WildOne: you've got a point here. . . . . . . the man can write some crazy volumes filled with so much millitary lingo and techno mumbo-jumbo that can make ur Bsc look like u'd been wasting time and money! 1 Like |

Pet Sematary, by Stephen King. A very prolific writer, once he gets going, but waffles for ages before getting into his stride! Pet Sematary was mind-numbingly boring, I'd rather count sheep anyday. |

lonely londoner. That book gave me great laughs. I just pretended to get it. |

Contrary to what dudes are saying about Tom Clancy's novels, i really love his work. It is a case of "one man's meat, ". My all time boring novel should go to Kenneth Kaunda's "Zambia shall be free". I don't even want to think about it. |

Suzanne84: Hah, another who got burned It became a thing in school, avoid Betty Neels. |
| Re: Most Uninteresting Book You Have Read. by tpia5: 4:02am On Jul 02, 2009 |
I think Betty Neels was the first M & B book I ever read. The book ended with "and the teakettle bubbled away/merrily on the stove" or something. While the main characters did their thing upstairs. No details of course. I was quite young then. |
