I've read this book once and that once was quite enough

[BAYLOR]

Books that you read from cover to cover once and have no desire ever to read again , And not necessarily because the book was bad.

 

[Danny McG]

Out of the dark by David Weber

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Sherilyn Kenyon. Just awful

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Also Paula by Isabelle Allende. Heartbreaking

I have plenty--some still in my shelves.
A more recent was Perdido Street Station by China Mieville there were elements I really enjoyed and then it seemed to veer off into an entire novel within the novel with a horror story and by the time it came out of that tailspin and I reached the satisfactory ending; I realized that I was glad to be finished and don't think I'll ever pick it up for another read.

Sherilyn Kenyon. Just awful

Do you mean her books or her general paranoia about being poisoned by her husband?

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Mien Kampf, by Adolf Hitler. Okay, so it was thirty years ago, and wanted to read it, and then wish I hadn't.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Her books. My word the head-hopping

Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boule
Number of the Beast by Robert A. Heinlein

I read Pierre Boule's novel Planet of the Apes almost 30 years ago , I thought it a bit silly . The ending particular, made no sense at all.

Number of the Beast . I heard to negativity about it and avoided it. I might give the new version a try though.

The last series of four books [Elder Gods?] from David Eddings. I had been such a fan of his early and middle work, but the last four [shudders] were terrible. I kept waiting for the twist to make it all worthwhile... and it didn't come.

I liked the Belgrade seres and thats about all.

 

[tegeus-Cromis]

That's true of most books I read, because there are too many books out there I haven't read yet.

I still have nightmares, I also kept reading expecting it to improve. If I was you I'd steer clear of Redemption of Althus more recycled rubbish.


Its had some good reviews but I'm not overly impressed Black Leopard, Red Wolf, i wont be finishing the series.

The ones set in Romania?

 

[tegeus-Cromis]

The ones set in Romania?

I don't know anything about this series, but wouldn't that be strange, since Belgrade is in Serbia?

 

[BAYLOR]

The ones set in Romania?

Belgariad. A bit of a typo there.

 

[Pyan]

George RR Martin's Ice and Fire series...

 

[hitmouse]

I don't know anything about this series, but wouldn't that be strange, since Belgrade is in Serbia?

Yes. Very mysterious. Easy to confuse with the Bucharestiad.

I don't really enjoy re-reading books, even ones I've loved, so I suppose this is most books I've read. But the one that leaps to mind is Rich Shapero's Wild Animus, which I think was given out for free several times at the university I attended.

I'm not really sure how I managed to get through it, but it's hard to think of a worse book.
