I quite like cheapo ex-library books, you can get some real gems, but also some rubbish like you found

Anything by Thomas Hardy (that man was so bloody miserable!). God, I know, I've never finished a Hardy novel, due to their lacking aaanythign to keep me interested. |

Tess of the D'Urbavilles is so miserable and Jude the Obscure, everyone always seems to have a crap life then die. In Jude the Obscure his eldest son hangs all the other kids then himself. It was horrid. Hardy must have been a right old b**tard

SUSAN HILL IS THE WORST WRITER ON THE PLANET.
We had to read The Woman in Black for A-level....it was awfully written, and the story was just the worst clichéed crap i've ever read..
And then my boyfriend bought me The Various Haunts of Men for Christmas, so i thought i would read it. It's like torture. I'm determined to read the whole lot so it will be permanently burned on my memory how NOT to write. x

All the books I had to read back in High School!
Well, maybe the one about Tiananmen Square was alright, and 1984 was OK.
But the rest of them sucked!

I used to really like stephen king but his few last novels except for the cell were hard to get through. I donot recommend reading liseys story..ugggg fell asleep trying to read a paragraph in the middle of the day. Geralds game was another it was super long for no reason.
