Countermeme

Only because my blogson says (in an attempt to dismantle the internet):

“Which book, out of the millions ever published, do you most wish never to read again?”

Lots sifted through my mind this afternoon, mostly books that have a cop-out last line, but a whole BOOK of cop-out rose out of the Aegean Sea: John Fowles’ The Magus.

It’s just a nasty novel.

On to you, Maria. Sorry. You sent me the Fahrenheit 451 meme…

  2. You know, I think I read that book way back when, but have since flushed it completely from my mind. I think I can visualize the cover, but I’m not even sure of that.

    Damn, there are some good things about aging.

  3. I couldn’t finish it for the torture. Which for me is I think has happened one other time. And the worst part is, it was a gift from someone who told me he thought the book contained the secret to understanding love and human relationships. Which I really truly wanted to get out of reading the book. Until I got so frustrated I was about to tear it apart into bits! I’m with you!
