Books you dont like?

Question

Books you dont like?
For some reason I have read very few books that I dont enjoy. And I read a lot and often pick books at random. Its weird.

Answer

Im sure Im going to get flamed for this, but I really cannot stand anything written by Ayn Rand. I could care less if she was a brilliant political activist or not, her writing makes me crazy. brbrI also had to put down Terry Brooks Shannara series. Could not wade through it to save my life. It was so slow and the writing was so clunky I just couldnt bear it after pages, so I quit. brbrI also tried to start the Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George three times, and all three times I woke up in a puddle of my own drool. I thought other books were slow, this moves at a snails pace.brbrVery rarely do I quotabandonquot books, being a librarian and all, but there are some that I just cringe when I see them. I wont argue with the people who love these books, these are just some that didnt appeal to me or I couldnt get into. I will never apologize for what I read. brbrI often choose books at random, and I try to keep up with the bestsellers and awards lists as well. Ill also see what my friends are reading, or listen to which books they or a patron recommend. Ive been tuned into some great writers, but Ive also slogged through my fair share of horrible books. brbrPicking books at random is never a bad thing, I would try out several different genres to see if you find yourself enjoying books from a particular genre fantasy, horror, nonfiction and then seek out books in that area more actively than others.
