If a book doesn't capture my interest within the first few chapters I won't read any further. There have been plenty of these, but I can't think of any specific titles at the moment.

Steinbech, something about these mexican pearl divers. Of Mice and Men was OK, but that other one was absolutely dire.
Now I'm nolonger at school I get to choose what I read and I know what I like.

Hmm there are a lot on this list for me. At uni. we had to read a lot of things I didn't like.
I'd say almost any book that has won the Nobel Prize For Literature is on my list especially One Hundred Years of Solitude. That bored me to the point of entering a coma!

I'm agreeing with Grapes of Wrath...
...no doubt it's a classic, but it's so evil the way everything goes wrong and everyone dies!
Oh, yeah, I've read The Pearl too...another sad one...
The worst thing is my Englsh teacher thinks I'm doing an RPR on Grapes of Wrath. I'm doing Piece of Cake whether she likes it or not!

My worst book must be General Physics by ? I had it for my homework 40yrs ago, have still got it, and have still not read it because it is still double dutch to me.

Moby Dick - how did this boring piece of rubbish ever become a "classic"?

I tend to find the 'classic' books the most boring. I really don't like Macbeth (which we are doing in english now). How can a person who writes in such a way that no-one can decipher what is going on be called a genius. Shakespeare is weird.

That is how they spoke 400 years ago Poly.
Personally I rather like The Bard, but then I'm an English teacher
