Right now I am reading a book called The villa of mysteries, by David Hewson (had never heard about him before). I started reading the book eagerly, but it has disappointed me. I am trying to finish it because there are just about 90 pages left but it's becoming such a hard task! I find that book so boring... I am forcing myself to read, and that's not good, but I just want to finish it.
Oh, other novels I couldn't finish was Price and Prejudice by Jane Austen and master Dickens's Great Expectations I am really embarrassed to recognize that, but I found them boring as well I guess I should re-start them again and with more passion, it's so sad for an English philologist not to like those great English classics
hehehe yeah Dixie, shame on you! :P In fact Great Expectations were sheer boredom but Pride and prejudice I enjoyed very much if not very very very much especially Mr. Darcy.... ahhhhhhhhhhh he was yummy :)

Yes, I will start it anew and enjoy it. I know such a popular and well-known novel cannot be that dull, it's my fault.illusion wrote: hehehe yeah Dixie, shame on you! :P In fact Great Expectations were sheer boredom but Pride and prejudice I enjoyed very much if not very very very much especially Mr. Darcy.... ahhhhhhhhhhh he was yummy :)

The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz. Being a fan of Stieg Larson's Millennium trilogy, I was eager to read this book. I couldn't have been more disappointed. Decaffeinated versions of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, too many irrelevant characters and a pointless story. Never again.

Re: books ain't worth readin
I think that all of books are worth reading, because they make you smarter and more intelligent. Like I said all of books are worth reading, but some of them are boring. One week ago I finished reading "Hobbit". It took me two months to read it! The story is uninteresting and slow. It is also impossible. This book is about a hobbit, who has a mission to complete. During his journey he stuggles with difficulties and fight with monsters. It is impossible! I don't like this kind of books, but in my opinion it makes me a little bit smarter. In the future I will choose books which tell you about real life. RF.

Divergent and The Hunger Games. In my personal opinion, they both are boring and plain.
