The first Terry Goodkind novel - Wizard's First Rule? - absolute drivel. Sometimes I don't mind reading a "good" bad book (you know the kind I mean; something you buy at the airport to kill the nightmare hours before and during the flight) but this was just stomach-churningly awful.

A French book entitled La route des Flandres. It was boring and impossible to read - I guess there waere like 2 or 3 sentences only in that novel, but they lasted pages and pages and pages! Bo-ring! I had to read it for a college course but I never ever finished it, I just couldn't... so I gave up (and I'm not the only one!)

Congo by Michael Crichton. I thought hey Jurassic Park and Lost World were great books but then i tried Congo, yikes... Nothing is better then reading half a book about talking and shifting through jungle. There is also Tony Hillerman's The Dark Wind. You would need to be into police stories to be able enjoy this book.

20,000 leagues under the sea by jules verne was, to, me, the most boring book on the face of the planet. i tried very hard to finish it but gave up the fight about 3/4 of the way through. life is too short, lol.
