Native Son. Or is it Sun? I can't even remember the author now, but that is the. Worst. Book. Ever. The guy tried to tell a story about racism and ended up creating a very...difficult to like hero. Hmm, I wonder why. Maybe smothering a girl and then chopping off her head might have had something to do with it? Oh yeah, maybe raping his girlfriend and leaving her to die might have helped too. I had to read that book for high school and it absolutely sickened me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patti Johnson" <pat1206@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ditto for me, I hated Catcher in the Rye  and I had to read it in high
school.

Catcher in the Rye!
If you are under 21 you are living it. If you are over 21, you are over it! 
That is you are a self obsorbed Aha Male!
However I forgave J. D. Sallanger when I read Harry Turtledove's Hilerious
sendup of the book in Esther Freezners The Chickes in the Mail. Available,
of course, from Baen Books.

 Let's not just pick on sci-fi, sf, science fiction (whatever you want to
call it).

 What's the worst book you've ever read?

 I don't know the title of mine, but it was by Donald Westlake (I'm pretty
sure) and I usually like his mysteries. The heroin was so yuck! Never mind, 
I don't even want to think about it.

 I read about two-thirds of it, then skipped to the last track and all the
good people were bad and all the bad were good.
