Most Boring Books of All Time

why is it allowed to list the Bible but the Quran is always deleted?

Extremely dull and boring book

Extremely Boring It completely goes over your head. Its basically from the Vedas and its supposed to have a story but its not getting anywhere.

Yeah, there's some spontaneous combustion and a whole lot of mud, but all in all, Bleak House is just that...bleak.

How.. how isn't this listed? The worst thing ever, god/

Its so boring. It doesnt move at all what so ever, and its just a really strecthed out story.

Why is the author explaining each and every single thing going on in the book? She opened the door and closed it behind. She walked three feet forward and then turned and walked a few more steps. It's that boring. I can't understand how people like it. May be there is something I'm missing.

I can honestly say this is the most-boring book I have ever attempted to read. I found this book so boring that I stopped reading it about 60 to 75 percent through. I looked up and read a summary of the remainder of the book, and I was completely satisfied with my decision to stop reading because even the ending was horrible.

Sure, he's a master, but the dialects just make this one snooze-inducing read.

NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLIMAX.

Couldn't read first 5 pages

the hard words, and all the irrelevant biographies, this is truly the worst!

It's worse then going to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extremely long. Extremely dull.

I like it but it just makes you fall asleep sometimes

I don't know why this book is so famous, its soooo boring and I totally hate half the characters! The worst character is Myrtle! I also don't like the time period it's in... I'm not sure if I'm the only one who doesn't like this. I had to read it for school.

Was required to read at least the first 50 pages for school! It was absolutely pointless!

This book is absolutely horrendous. I had to read this particular book not by choice but as a summer reading requirement for AP English. I love to read and will read anywhere at anytime quietly, but I found that with this book I had to isolate myself into the confinements of my room and read aloud or else I would not remember a thing. I had to read 366 pages of a man talking about how to argue and giving life stories that bored me to death. Not only did I suffer through this horrid book but sadly my parents were among one of the many victims that I'm sure this book has accumulated. I had to finish this book by a certain deadline and so that entailed reading in a hotel room with my parents listening in absolute boredom because we went on a weekend trip. By the time I had finished my daily chapters my family clapped in relief. They hated the book so much that they would not let me read it in there presence again.

it is highly boring

Preachy allegory-simply could not finish this repetitive nonsense. Would rather have a fingernail yanked out.

because its stupid

If you've tried to get through this classic seafaring tale, you understand why it deserves a high ranking.

I barely got through This Side of Paradise and by the time i got to the Beautiful and the Damned, i gave up halfway through. I threw the book at the wall, screamed, started to cry and havent touched it since. Gatsby was Fitzgerald's only masterpiece. BatD was more a book to pad Fitzgerald's ego, and was executed poorly. Plot, none of it.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS BOOK AT ALL!!! For a book based in the future, its really boring! I had to read it back in 7th grade and after i read it, i didn't even remember half of it! Why is this book so famous? i am i the only one who hates this book??

YOU ARE NOT LIVING INDEPENDENTLY AND YOU ARE NOT SEPARATING YOURSELF FROM SOCIETY!

Basiccaly this book is just describing different species of fish, and not a whole lot of action.

99% of the book is in The same room about a woman and her son doing the same EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Ok, so a lot of classic stories come out of this epic. But those classic stories--maybe a sentence each, at least. Most of the book is not worth the backache you'll get lugging it around.

Katniss Everdeen is the worst main character possible in a science fiction book like The Hunger Games.

FREAKING TERRIBLE... BUNCH OF WALKING....

By audiobook, seriously, one hour discussing what a dead man sitting in a chair looks like. Poor, poor, Clifford, Poor, old Hexabah.

Who cares about stuff that doesn't exist? It is extremely terrible and not worth reading.

Classic insomnia material. Sure, it's influential literature, but how many can say they've actually breezed through it?

Why do I care what a bunch of animals say or do. It might have some profound meaning, but to me, I just couldn't read it, so BORING!

just plain boring. I don't care how well you write, its boring.

Dull and boring. The title suits it.

Started off great, but it has gone down hill since the 4th book. Not unlike the TV series adaption.

This is the hardest novel I have ever read. I didn't even finish the abridged version because of how the actual book messed it up for me.

Absolutely hated it. Characters were not interesting or engaging. I hated Wart! I had to read it in school and did I ever rip it up on the test! It sucked. I have never read it since, which is a good indicator, if I like a book, I'll read it again.

SUPER SLOW!!!!!!!!!!
