Overrated books you've read expecting greatness

[gersforme]

"Catcher in the rye!" load of shyte, phuck the ducks in central park, ****age ridden angst written by a middle aged man, i expected a classic, mark chapman must have been aff his nut to be into that pysh >:(

[BertrandRussell]

Aye, I found that one a wee bit of a disappointment too. Similarly, I found The Great Gatsby fairly dull.

Have you ever read East Of Eden - I loved that?

never mate, will give it a look, if its good enough for you that will do me

[BertrandRussell]

I would highly recommend it.

The Master & Margarita is my favourite novel. It's f*cking nuts.

[Dirty_Dingus_Magee]

Gersforme pretending he's well read, what a clown. :D

[gersforme]

I don't really fancy that one. I've got Nicky Hopkins' biography to read next.

Love that book.

Somebody could have read it oot tae you ya cheeky wee b&stard. I asked a weegie once what was the last book he had read and he replied the Argos catalogue that is true.

Goodness me.

It's the scottishfitba forum version of the Bloomsbury Group.

Problem is, bertrandrussell has never made it past page two in any book he's looked at, but he thinks that means he's read them.

Failed telly humper.

Failed barman.

Fail.

Have you read Bulgakov's other books? Some good stuff.

I tried to go through the classics for a while but The Great Gatsby put me off.

Another great book I read last year was Narcopolis by Jeet Thayil - that's mental as well. Sordid but very enjoyable.

[gersforme]

Dorian Gray was a great read, an eternal classic

[Archiebaird]

That's the only Bulgakov book I've read.

I've read a few classics. Might seem like an obvious choice but Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is superb if you haven't read it. :D

[BertrandRussell]

I never finished that one. I think Mook has a copy, I'll nick it off him.

[noahrab]

Archie, it's usually the bawbag bros who jump in first.

Didn't expect Gers but hey ho, he's as phuckin thick as them.

[WangOneIn]

Plodding through paragraphs upon paragraphs of someone's flowery descriptions just so he/she could make a word count isn't my idea of fun.

[BertrandRussell]

Wouldn't do if we were all the same, neilo. Look at wee noah, for instance, he thinks it's fun to pretend to be a moron on here all day and stick his tongue up AJ's cyber rectum.

XD

[gersforme]

noah just comes on to have a go at kvnts, i really can't remember him starting a thread for months, poor kvnt probably has no imagination at all, anykvnt can come on to snipe at people, kinda sad really but whatever turns him on

[BertrandRussell]

That's an old one, gers.
