<p>I think I am giving ann coulter wayyyy too much credit by referring to these pieces of literary $hit as books.</p>
<p>I also don't advocate the burning of any books, hypothetical or otherwise, but this is a funny thread nonetheless. </p>
<p>I must say that I enjoyed Lord of the Flies; it really taught me something about human nature.</p>
<p>I'm going to have to give my vote to Heart of Darkness....such a terrible, terrible book. I tried so hard to understand it or gain even the smallest appreciation for it, but I couldn't. I think the line "Oh, the horror! The horror!" perfectly described my feelings towards the book.</p>
<p>Scarlet Letter - I gotta say it's pointless, maybe because I don't understand it.</p>
<p>Great Gatsby....</p>
<p>Any Thing By Anne Coulter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>How DARE you suggest The Great Gatsby!!</p>
<p>Vonnegut is a genius! Breakfast of Champions is not my favorite of his, but try "Cat's Cradle", or "God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater" and I swear you'll have a different opinion of him.</p>
<p>As far as wishing a book didn't exist, my personal choice would be Absalom, Absalom by William Faulkner. I was assigned that book during my junior year in college, and I think the book is unreadable. Faulkner is more or less known in academia as America's greatest author, but I have to disagree, because generally I think a great author should be able to make his point without causing migraines in the reader.</p>
<p>Scarlet Letter- It's been almost 5 years since I read it and I've still got really bad memories of reading that book.</p>
<p>And like some others have said, Fahrenheit 451. Not that I hated that book, but I'd be a bit curious to see if when the book actually reached 451 (I'd put a temp guage on it) it burst into flames.</p>
<p>oh yes... scarlet letter. good addition to the list.</p>
<p>I didn't find Scarlet Letter too bad. Gatsby was also alright (someone mentioned earlier).</p>
<p>I liked scarlet letter and fahreinheit 451.</p>
<p>however i would burn the jungle, worst bookEVER</p>
<p>This thread reminds me just how much I hate literature.</p>
<p>Yeah, I said it. Now I'll never get into college. Puh.</p>
<p>You can still get into Billy Bob's College of Haircutting.</p>
<p>The Jungle? I loved it. I really felt for Jurgis and Ona, and got mad at the capitalists. Also idk why so many people hate A Separate Peace. I liked it. Also I loved Great Gatsby and the various expressions Fitzgerald used.
Guess this just shows u how different we r.</p>

<p>Hate to imagine where we'd be without that book, though I have yet to read it.</p>
<p>Whos looking out for you-By BILL O'REILLY, OMG that guy is the most pompous opinionated right-wing idiot i have ever seen!</p>
<p>haha...i really like some of the books that you guys want to burn...the jungle, the great gatsby, fahrenheit 451, the odyssey, </p>
<p>wouldn't you consider burning fahrenheit 451 a bit ironic? -__-;;</p>
<p>and is "a separate peace" THAT bad? :[</p>
<p>i think that was the point of 451. for irony and laughter.
i liked separate peace idk why it's on the burn list.</p>
<p>f451 was mentioned probably as a joke. </p>
<p>i hated seperate peace. failed to bring up any points acrross.</p>
<p>A Gracious Plenty - A book that has somehow achieved adult reading status at an elementary level, extremely pointless bull. Please anyone who gets their hands on a copy of this burn it immediately.</p>
<p>turn of the screw by henry james. omfg that book sucks.</p>
