I read the Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis. And I hated it. You see, I was tricked into believing this would be an action-packed sci-fi adventure, and then the actual book was nothing but a preachy sermon by Lewis on how humanity sucks and we all need to clean our souls.

I read "Tarzen of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I liked it until Jane and company land in Tarzan's home. Once the "targmangani" (white man) shows up in the story, the whole book gets more boring.

My school made me read "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne. There's areason why most of the filmed adaptations are not true to the book: the book itself is pretty boring.

I read "Jurassic Park" by Michael Chrichton. Once again, the reason the Spielberg movie was not true to the book is because the book itself is "Introduction to Bioogy and Physics, Starring Dinosaurs".

Here's an example:

in the movie:

Lex: Hey! I found a dinosaur egg!

Alan Grant: That's because these dinosaurscan change gender.

in the book:

Lex: Hey! I found a carbonadium-enchaned egg with a ph2 of 47ktt and a radioactive nucleus around its carbon core!

Alan Grant: The DNA in the main statis cells of the dinosaurs have produced a phermonal dirronucleic change that charges the pitutuary and ovaric gland with endocrine pheromones, producing a bio-cehimcal mitosis that causes them to change sex.

And whole goddamn book is like that. Screw that, give me the movie any day of the week.

I read "Roadwork", by Stephen King. I liked it pretty much.

I read the Lord of the Rings books by J.R.R. Tolkien, but I have very vague memories from it.

I have "Alice in Wonderland" for obvious reasons.

I read "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupery. Nice, but too sugary sweet for my taste.

I read "Oedipus Rex", and I sincerely didn't understand what the hell was going on.
