Books that you did not enjoy reading.

[Tadao]

I didn't enjoy reading Catcher in the Rye. The only reason I read it was to see what the hub bub was about. It felt like the only reason the story had curse words in it was to shock people they way many musicians do when they have no actual talent.

Another is The Art and Zen of Motorcycle repair. I enjoyed it up until the middle. The problem was that I feel the same way about life (I was also riding a motorcycle and repairing it) as he did. So it became a waste of time and boring.

I'm wondering what bad experiences people have had with books that are generally liked.
