worst book yall ever read? 🤔

maybe a book that is popular but turned out to be crap, or just something u didnt like ?

school library books..sigh..

idk

i wouldn’t say any of the books i’ve read are bad, but like 2/4 of the books in the Unwind series are pretty crappy. i still love them. 

Dead serious, I read 5 pages of the dune trilogy, closed the book, and donated it 💔

It was not for me...

the curious incident of the dog in the night-time. i fucking hate that book. hideously twee depiction of autism. you can 100% tell came that from a man who worked with autistic children and took note of their behavior but never tried to understand WHY they act that way. the protagonist sure has all the stuff you would notice from the outside, but it's like that behavior is a shell over a hollow interior. pisses me of just thinking about it. 

i especially hate it because autistic people write ALL THE TIME about their experiences, but this guy somehow gets to be the voice people listen to instead. i find it especially disrespectful because, like, he depicts a child with moderate support needs, but even people with high-support needs create art and depictions of their lives CONSTANTLY, so it isn't even like he's writing for the voiceless. the kind of support the curious incident of the dog in the night-time gets just makes autistic people more invisible, and the attitude that enables that keeps letting people treat work by autistics like it's all drawings by dogs.

Two Books in which the author tried to convince the reader grooming and pedophelia are okay, normal and beautiful even. Or that one memoir written by the mother who clearly hated her autistic kid. I could look up the names but they’re not worth it, I used the actual trashcan for one of them

The absolutely true diary of a part time indian, just a bunch of weird shit like books give kids boners and talks about a kidgetting confused when he thinks about boners. plus the author was involved in a whole sexual misconduct scandal.

with the little amount of books i've read, i'd probably say "the sorrows of young werther". it's a classic but hasn't aged well due to the way it parallels the world point of view from incels. the main character is written for his behavior to be sympathetic, sometimes rewarded, more than it takes to break down his obsession with a woman into something that should be criticized by the reader--not because it's not "good for him" or makes him pitiful but because it objectifies her and leads to him being forceful and be predatory. that harmful part of his obsession is hardly a tragedy towards her, unlike the way it torments him, despite the obsession manifesting into physical assault. it also doesn't help that while the prose is impressive, is melodramatic to the point that it becomes boring in its own way, since everything is a huge moment which means less impact for the big events. which may be the point, but remains to be an unfortunate result of the author needing this main character to lead this story. 

there's also this weird thing that the main character might parallel the actual author's love towards a real girl while she was getting engaged which??? made me sigh over this book over more. apparently the author ended up not liking this book later in his life (he hated the romanticism of it, i hear, apparently? can not accurately confirm since i haven't read his other things), which if true validates me in my kind-of dislike of this book.
