And I remember Catch-22 as a very good book and if I remember correctly a very funny book.

Some book I have read and for some reasons disliked a lot are _Forever Peace_ (Joe Haldeman) and The Dirk Gently Books by Douglas Adams. I have probably read too little mainstream books to really have 10 worst books. A genre books usually have a plot so you usually got something from reading it even if the rest of the components are bad.

I totally agree with you, tompe....about your assessment of Catch-22.

Here are some of the worst that I have read!

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
read it for a book club and no one liked it!

The Magic Circle by Katherine Neville
The Eight was good but she fell flat on her face with this one.

Harry Potter past #4

Wheel of Time Series

Sword of Truth Series
maybe I'm not as big a fantasy fan as I thought I was..........

Ten-Four on The Gor!

Anything Shannara

I'm going to have to go with the Chronicles of Narnia.

I find them poorly written, and the way they've been hijacked to be the "Anti-Potter" has just pushed me away from them.

The sad thing is, CS Lewis wrote them to reach out to all.. but now I can't read them without feeling sick to my stomach.

The only thing I can think of is that the religious nuts who refuse to read Harry Potter because there is witchcraft can read Chronicles because it was written by a known Christian author with Christian themes.

Down here, in DA SOUTH, they held book burnings of Harry Potter, where if you burned your complete set of Harry Potter books, you were given a set of Narnia books.

It's regularly preached against as a conversion tool, and it's unsafe to read it if you're not a christian, because you'll get someone randomly coming up to you and bashing potter.

no no........please don't judge us by some remote, religious nuts who choose to interpret the bible by their own narrow versions.

We live in a country where anyone is free to think and do mostly as they please.

This is both a wonderful thing, and a dangerous thing.

You are free here to rant and rave against a government who allows you to do so without restraint or fear of retribution. Go figure.

"The land of the free" always fascinates me with this kind of news.

There is one thing you do not mention Redcard. Where do these things occur? Is it in your town, at school or at a place of worship.

I've always wondered just what these religious extremists believe is going to happen to people who read HP? ie what exactly is the "danger" in it?
