Subject: The Crappiest Books Ever Written?

"I don't mean to sound bitter, cold or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out"
- Bill Hicks

Everything by Dan Brown is pretty trashy, the Dirk Pitt books by Clive Cussler are bad (though mildly entertaining) and there's an Aussie author called Matthew Reilly who's -blam!- terrible.

Were you forced to read the books? Also Dirk Pitt sounds like a parody of Brad Pitt. Just Sayin.

Not really. I read Dan Brown to see what the fuss was about when they were first making headlines and I was lent a Matthew Reilly book by someone who claimed it was excellent.

I did choose to read a few Dirk Pitt books as they are mildly entertaining despite being poorly written (like the literary equivalent of a Jason Statham movie).

Deception Point was a good thriller. It was somewhat foreseeable but it's still good.

Anything by Karen Traviss?

I like Karen Traviss. She tends to delve more into the moral and ethical issues of the story, such as in her Wess'har novels, as opposed to most science-fiction authors, who prefer "Pew-Pew! Aliens! Spaceships! Explosions!"

I've had Glasslands for SO LONG and I still haven't finished because of how boring a writer she is.
