To Kill a Mocking Bird. Honestly, it's really boring, i don't know how anyone couldve enjoyed it.

Oh, and keep your "LOL READING IS GEH LOL" outa here plz.

the bible.
lolololol

Why must people keep talking about Harry Potter books?

We get the books are better than the movie.

To Kill a Mockingbird is absolutely phenomenal, a personal favourite.

Harry Potter series is obviously overrated. I absolutely love Harry Potter, but it just seems like semi-retarded fan fiction.

First of all, obvious troll is obvious. Second, the book is a classic because of its honest, raw portrayal of racism in the early 20th century as well as the characterization of Atticus, a man who is willing to stand against this racism to protect the true equality of man. Of course, that's just scratching the surface, the book is also a riveting page turner with complex characters, motivations, and events.

I just read it and comprehended everything after only a glance through it. The plot and foreshadowing, along with all the tropes and complex literary devices used, are much more obvious once you have read through the entirety thereof and truly got into the book, immersing yourself in the oft overly-verbose text and shit.

The Bib-

Dammit.

Ah, yes, the Bible.

Such hilarity and nuisance all in about 1000 pages.

Hm, I think people give to much beef on the bible. If you actually read the damn thing, you can actually know a thing or two about human behavior.

Am I really going to be the first one to say the Twilight Series? I mean, I tried to read it JUST when it started getting popular, way before they made Twilight movies and shit. I got about 100 pages in, and just had to give it back to the guy that let me borrow it. The same guy that told me it was a good book.

God-awful book clearly only written for female appeal.

American literature ==> imperfect literature. There's always some annoyance to be had when reading that shit, but it's absolutely fantastic for learning how to bullshit while seeming clever!

Hester Prynne blah blah Pearl blah blah Chillingworth being a huge fucking creeper blah blah blah blah blah... that pretty much sums up the borderline nonexistent, yet still pleasant plot.

Bullshit.

See? You're getting better at it already! :P

Your opinion will be unconsidered. Plus what can you learn from the bible that you can't learn from life or other books?

The dictionary of course.

Any Stephen King book ever. I am not muscling through a book 2,000 pages long.

If you view it as a piece of literature and not a religious document, the Bible is actually a well-written, consistently stylized novel that makes for a great read if you can suspend your disbelief.

But no, learning morals doesn't necessarily require this book. You're absolutely right in that department, bromosome.

I consider the bible a literary work of satire, then. It has great grammar and punctuation, along with great diction.

It's not even that - you present it to a literary critic and ask them to give it a review, they won't rate it that highly. It's a half decent story, but not as good as comparable works of fantasy, such as Discworld or Lord of the Rings.

Twilight.

FOR FUCKS SAKE THE ONLY REASON YOU READ THOSE BOOKS WAS BECAUSE YOUR VAGINA HAS A BONER FOR THE DOUCHEBAG PLAYING THE VAMPIRE IN THE MOVIE.

Vagina Boner, Aw yeah.

It's called a Lady Boner. Hasn't your mother ever taught you manners?

Don't you have to be a an actual lady to have one of those?

I'm just asking

Honestly I've got to say either the Lord of the Rings trilogy or Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, which I literally put down 3/4ths of the way through (Which I NEVER usually do). Simply because they both bored the fuck out of me, lotr had about 300 pages worth of descriptions of trees and great expectations had sooo much waffling about nothing.

So how many fundamentalists do you derps actually know?

Anyway, Catcher in the rye

This too, even more so than The Scarlet Letter. Descriptiveness is fine and all, but plot advancement and conflict are frequently much more interesting to those who don't find detail, engaging and immersive, myself included.

Great Expectations.

You gotta hand it to them though that it's probably the most influential book that has ever been written.

Personally I don't know much about the bible myself other than that it has a few very good stories.
