BTT: OMG, It was like, the worst EVER

What’s the worst book you’ve read recently? (I figure it’s easier than asking your all-time worst, because, well, it’s recent!)

Okay, so I'm not really sure why I titled my post that particular saying, but hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm very very bad at being overly mean about books, even if they totally suck. Like big time, almost would rather die than continue reading, kind of suck. I can speak about it in the general, but when I've actually named a specific book, I chicken out. I keep picturing the author reading the review - like that's really going to happen - and feeling bad about what I've said - like he/she would care about little ole me. But there you have it.

So, I figure for this challenge, I will talk in the abstract about some not-so-good books I've read this year.

Award #1: OMG U R like sooooo boring

This book, a romance novel, actually made sex boring. I know! Can you believe it? I can't even really tell you what happened in the book or what the plot was because I don't think anything happened.

Award #2: Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

This book, a travel book, seemed insistent upon talking, not about places, but about the author. Me, me, me, me, and then me, me, me. I am just too cool. You get the picture.

Award #3: Cater to the babies

This book, an educational theory text, posited that the real problem with college education today was that instructors were "out of touch" with their students. Pffffftttt. If we keep dumbing things down, the film Idiocracy may actually happen. Besides I'm not even 30; I'm pretty sure I'm still part of their generation.

And there are my top 3 Worst Books awards for the year...so far.
