What, in your opinion, is the best book that you haven’t liked? Mind you, I don’t mean your most-hated book–oh, no. I mean the most accomplished, skilled, well-written, impressive book that you just simply didn’t like.
I actually answered this week’s BTT last week, although I didn’t choose only one… So, I will pick The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford and will turn my attention to Banned Books week… Which actually relates to this week’s BTT somewhat since a Banned Book was obviously disliked by someone at some time, and most tend to be very well-written, too! Fortunately, most of us simply choose to dislike a book, privately, and do not try to mandate that others do not have the chance to choose to dislike it themselves…!
I’ve posted about banned books a number of times in the past, but hate to let the week go by without at least a mention. So, feel free to check out a couple of recent posts:
- The Politics of Reading (be sure to check out the comments section — great discussion of how to interpret Palin’s firing of a librarian)
- Top 10 Censored Books
Or, the ALA’s week dedicated to Banned Books
Or, Time magazine‘s recent article
So, let me know what books you have “appreciated,” but disliked… whether banned or not!




Good morning! I have three other titles for my answer. Come visit me. Happy BTT.
