This week’s Top Ten Tuesday list from That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to share books that frustrated us in one way or another. I rarely carry on reading books I hate, so there are plenty of books I’ve let go over the years, but this particular prompt suggests antipathy to me, which means I have to truly resent a book in one way or another, and that means I actually thought it worth carrying on until the end for one reason or another. Here are the nine one-star reads I have recorded on Goodreads, which amounts to “I finished it, but wish I hadn’t”:
- Fat Vampire, by Adam Rex
- The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery
- A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks
- The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway
- The Pearl, by John Steinbeck
- Flowers for Algernon, by Daniel Keyes
- Summer People, by Marge Piercy
- Needled to Death, by Maggie Sefton
- Deck the Halls by Mary Higgins Clark & Carol Higgins Clark
How about you? Do you have any books you want to chuck in the ocean?
