Worst book you've read recently?

oh no... hopefully not more of the following:

"Sidda curled up in the very convenient furnished cabin that a friend just happened to let her borrow and stared out into the beautiful pine woods. She thought about her loving, sweet, romance-novel boyfriend, though for some stupid reason she was still scared to commit to him. He did all these impossibly nice things for her. Shouldn't all women be so lucky? Men know how to treat the women of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

Especially Vivi, who was the Alpha Ya-Ya. All Ya-Yas are not created equal. Everything revolved around Vivi. Teensy managed to suck up to her enough to get the #2 position, probably by providing a conveniently fun mother to hang out with and a hot brother for her friend to date. Isn't sisterly bonding wonderful? Caro and Necie hung around to listen to the top two talk about their problems and were perfectly content just to be there. Caro's husband left her for another man, but hey, no problem. She was the strong, practical type and wouldn't miss a man that much, since she doesn't need love and affection (except possibly from her Ya-Ya sisters). Necie had no life at all, but no one noticed. She was the token good girl at the bottom of the food chain.

They all loved their female bonding so much! Such emotional good times and flowing estrogen! Especially those secret rituals they performed at night, the details of which were probably left out of the best-selling book. Even their children had no idea just how cozy they got with each other's Ya-Yas.

Isn't life so emotional and perfect and happy? As Vivi has her friends catering to her every whim in a non-equal sisterhood, as Sidda has her perfect man and is free to act like a little girl even though she's 40. Wouldn't you like to be a Ya-Ya too? Now I bet you can't stand your pathetic life, can you? Time to watch Lifetime or Oxygen and get your estrogen back...

I guess reading names like Vivi and Teensy should have set off the warning bells........LOL

The worst books i read were Dutch literature so you wouldn't know them. for some reason in dutch literature the main character almost always is a mentally disturbed man, and sex is the most importent aspect of the books.
terrible books:the worst book i ever read was:
"de avonden" written by gerard reve(but it is in dutch)

the worst book i read in english is:
passage to india.(not sure who wrote it).

I read so little books, I make damned sure I'm going to like it before I begin reading. However, the worst book I ever read was the Scarlet Letter.

On the flip side, I am very much a fan of Dracula/Vampire lore and have started reading The Historian. I definitely recommend it!
