top hated books
Tsubasa:
For me Math, Japanese and Physics are the only subjects you can get away without any preparation before tests.
Why no preparation?
Well, I hate the prep materials so... :P

Larry:
Das Kapital

Hemmingway books in general... however I did like Hemmingway's A Farewell to Arms... but I'm a sucker for romance so ya.

Daisy Miller by Henry James. The most waste of a time book ever. There is no point to it. It's just about this girl and all the guys she flirts with then randomly dies at the end.
I like Hemingway's writing style, but the only one of his works I've read is The Old Man and the Sea, which was rather interesting. It wasn't great, but the symbolism and irony of the whole situation wasn't lost on me.
And math prep materials are annoying. If I were allowed to, I'd be listing math textbooks too. I'm just a little above average in math, and I don't really like the subject. My reading comprehension scores are always at the top of the charts in SAT, ACT, and FCAT, so I'm not completely talentless. And I can hold my own in science, for some strange reason.
I ought to put my money where my mouth is and become a QC for LE, but I know that I'm about to have a lot of responsibilities soon, and I'd rather not let everyone down because I'm busy.

I dunno if everyone went crazy about them everywhere else, but inEngland, everyone was obsession about the dan Brown books, like da vinci Code and Angel and Demons, so I thought I'd give them a try.
I got about ten pages into Angels and Demons and gave up. The writing style was so dull and informative, rather than descriptive. it was like reading stage directions, so it's been sitting on my shelf ever since. My dear friend Ruth (may she rest in peace) also agreed with me, as did my sister and mum. Though one of my other firends, ill-informed as she is, has claimed The Da Vinci Code to be the best book ever.
So all Dan Brown books, pretty much
