Jantar & Adela or something like that, it was horrid. 
A simple adventure tale mauled by an inexperienced author.

Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila -
The first of the Shannara series. I have a first edition that is probably the only book in my collection that I would ever sell (and I have other Tolkien rip-offs).We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Generally, no, because if a book seems like crap, I just don't finish it. The exception is The Lexus and the Olive Tree by Thomas Friedman, which I felt compelled to read before my interview for the State Department; it was an unspeakable (and unspeakably long) slog through a swamp of mind-numbing banalities, pseudo-insights, and fatuous self-congratulation. It also never came up at my interview. Even if the time I spent reading it would have been spent playing Civ 3 instead, I still want those hours back.

Babbit. Although I only read half of it before my copy was stolen from me one day when I was down at the beach. I'll bet whoever took my stuff that day wishes they could unsteal it.Comment

Kafka's 'Trial' springs to mind. Drove me nuts.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

A dozen or so probably, I used to buy them for a dollar from this kid down the street when he was done with them.How many have you read? More than one?
I figured they would get better. After a point they couldn't possible get worse, right? Wrong."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment
