Worst book of all time

The Book of Numbers, while it certainly has its dry parts is great in its narrative sections - very dramatic. Leviticus is the hard one to get through.

 

A family friend was left money in trust by his grandmother for his support while he was an undergraduate at UVa. After enough years, it becomes very difficult to find a course to take which won't finish off some major.

 

Atlas Shrugged has it all: godawful writing, cardboard characters and pseudo philosophical rants.

It may be inspiring when you're 18 but it's embarrassing when you reach adulthood.

It's a perfect example of St. Augustine's quote “Beware of the man who has read only one book.”

 

Clearly none of you have read Gerald's Game by Stephen King.

 

Ryan should give the Pope a copy of Atlas Shrugged.

 

Atlas Shat.

I read it when I was 14-15, and I thought it was idiotic then. Reading it was like shoveling cement. Not because I didn't understand it, but because it was simply predictable cliched dreck.

Forty years later ... Damn, I was a smart kid.

Oh, "The Fountainhead" is a fecespalooza too. It's a "fountain," all right.

 

I am totally finding a way to use "fecespalooza" this weekend.

 

This still has my vote.

 

God's Coach: The Hymns, Hype, and Hypocrisy of Tom's Landry's Cowboys is the worst non-fiction book I have ever read.

I guess the only good thing is as a result I have never watched Skip Bayless on ESPN or read anything else he ever wrote.

 

I still remember when ESPN did an early-season feature on that memorable 1993 Phillies team. They talked a little bit about Dykstra being the team sparkplug or something, and in voiceover mentioned that book. Immediately switched to John Kruk with a disbelieving look on his face: "Lenny wrote a BOOK?!?"
