Nukelavee Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 So...we must all have them, series or writers (or teams of writers), who produce terrible terrible books, but books we can't say no to.Things like Mack Bolan, or VC Andrews.Me? When I was much younger, 13-15, it was teh Nick Carter: Killmaster of AXE series. Omg, such tacky tacky books, filled with all that makes crap ooze under teh fridge.Sex, pitiful plots, improbable fights, lots more sex, violence.. and it wasn't even kinda well written.Fuck, tho, I must have read 30 of the books, each one just Nick, Hugo the Luger, Wilhemena the dagger, and pierre the gas grenade that nestled by his bag.so? you?

Grack21 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well, I became obsessed at one point at owning every Forgotten Realms novel...and now I do. And I still keep up, even though my reading of them kinda died when i got to oh....1999ish. Its my my to be read pile is like 400 something. Take those out and its only in the 200s!I also enjoy Karen MIller even though her books are complete and utter shit.Edit: I still keep up with my Brooks too. Don't laugh!

nickg Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Dragonlance, forgotten realms, brooks, and some feist. Oh, and star wars. How nerdy am I? To be honest I don't think all of these are terrible. They may not be the greatest things ever to grace paper, but I enjoy most of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winged Wolf Bran Stark Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Probably the most embarrassing thing for me is my collection of Star Wars books. Though I recently got rid of a bunch of them. Still have a sizable amount left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the Karen Miller books are the only ones I feel ashamed of when I have people over.I dont think they are either. Was mainly going by what most people think. I do get some funny looks/comments when people see then though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeTrix Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I read every Raymond E Feist novel that comes out. I figure i've got this much invested in the guy (years.. decades) that i might as well stick it out and see what the hell is going on. Sometimes they suck, sometimes they are tolerable.I can definitely relate to this one. I was also doing a similar thing for a few years in my late teens/early twenties with David (&Leigh!) Eddings books. But the repetitiveness of characters and dialogue finally put an end to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weak With The Dawn Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I also enjoy Karen MIller even though her books are complete and utter shit.Pretty much this. I'm glad I'm not alone.I read Miller and the crap Paolini produces (BEES ARE BEAUTIFUL!) because once I've made the necessary improvements in my head (or had enough wine) I can actual get into the story.They both reside on the shelf in my closet, so I can close the door and forget.

Antonius Pius Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I read warhammer novels.Me too. I've read Gaunt's Ghosts and Ciaphas Cain, which aren't really that bad, but I also read a Space Marines omnibus (Ultramarines by Graham McNeill), which was.

Liffguard Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I've read all three Mass Effect novels. They are all unrepentantly awful.I also still hold a guilty soft spot for the Yeard's books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeyne Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I've read all of Jodi Picoult books. And I don't even like them. I've read a fair amount of Nicholas Sparks books too, they're crap but strangely addictive... and so easy to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
