Have you ever read a book you've wished you could unread? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Nemerov** · 05-12-2008, 03:44 PM

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).

No, but there are several threads on Poly that I wish I could unread

**BILBONDER** · 05-12-2008, 04:45 PM

Thomas Friedman is horrible

**ClapekDodki** · 05-12-2008, 05:01 PM

Indeed I do

**I9dydJrX** · 05-12-2008, 05:32 PM

I also read books I wish to unwrite

How many have you read? More than one? 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.

I figured they would get better. After a point they couldn't possible get worse, right? Wrong.

Battlefield Earth

Although I have to say that I have read many books that I now wish that I could unread. I was young. I was naive.

God Almighty. That must have been the worst book ever written, if it made you long for Civ 3.

Barry Trotter And The Shameless Parody by Michael Gerber is my contestant here. Luckily, i have managed already to forgot most of everything i've ever read anyway.

**Markdogas** · 05-13-2008, 04:32 AM

Civ 1 manual. I can't imagine how my life would be today if I hadn't got sucked up into that game.

Heart of Darkness was also crap.

**Sakkola** · 05-13-2008, 01:57 PM

Re Dune I think the first was very good. Some of the later "Dunes" were crap indeed....

Lots of children's entertainment is scary...

Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Herbie, etc.
