[tee hee] I laugh (not
at you) because it was a favourite book of mine, though I was early- to mid-teens when I read it. It was somewhat...liberating for me (as you can imagine), though I need to reread it with a mind that might have developed at least
some connections that will help me "get" more of it.
It's what I love about this thread. That we can post our
own designated "worst" books regardless of any positive or negative popular or critical opinion.
I'm still waiting for someone to post
Bliss by Peter Carey, or
Cultural Amnesia by Clive James, or
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig or
If This Is A Man/The Truce by Primo Levi. They'd be up their as my all-time favourites, though I've no inclination, nor even feel any necessity, to defend them here. If people dislike them enough to consider them their "worst", I'm far more fascinated by and enchanted to listen to the "Why?".
Cheers,
