#it was written by a local shitass unknown writer and it was just very overt nationalist propaganda

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

a ton and a few extra wagons lol i hated 7 out of 10 books i've read. THE worst one i've ever read was la marchande d'enfants by gabrielle wittkop easily, it was just vile. i don't know what the author was trying to say with it and what was her goal, but it repulsed me alright. i read it many years ago, pretty sure i stumbled across it when i was going through marquis de sade's bibliography. see the thing about de sade's stuff is that it's awful but in like, a funny and ridiculous way. when you read about justine being ripped in two by some guy's monster-sized cock or about marie killing her kids like they're flies on a horse you know that this is written by a weird pervert and it's so ridiculous you can't take it seriously. and marchande was trying to be cheeky in a way i guess, but it grossed me out in just how meaningless all of That was.

other than that i've hated count of monte cristo by alexandre dumas so much i was frothing at the mouth the whole time i was reading it for no particular reason. hated everyone in it, hated the story, hated the writing. not saying it's a bad book btw just that i hated it. picture of dorian grey by oscar wilde had me frothing at the mouth by the same amount, but i have beef with wilde in general and would beat him with a rock if given half a chance. from those i read recently... i've finished forbidden colors by mishima yukio a few weeks ago actually and it really is up there in the list of insufferable dogshit horrible books i hated, like really up there it was genuinely torturous. 100 years of solitude by gabriel garcia marquez was repulsive. i think i read other stuff that only just mildly pissed me off so they get a pass
