It’s time for Parajunkee’s Friday Blog Hop. This week’s question is a bit different than normal, but I’m sure an answer instantly pops into everyone’s mind.
Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?

The answer for me is Lord of the Flies by William Golding (I’m sure I’m quite in the minority). Couldn’t stand it, it still gives me the shudders every time I think of its disturbing contents.

I had to read Walking Across Egypt by Clyde Edgerton when I was a sophomore. I'm sure I had to read it because it is another one of those classics but I did NOT enjoy it. There is this one scene from the book that has been burned into my memory. The boy, I don't remember his name, has had a rough life and finds himself at this old woman's house. He's filthy and has never had a bath before. It's probably supposed to be one of those great, meaningful scenes where he cleanses himself, but I couldn't get rid of the image. He lays in the tub letting his pelvis rise and fall in the water. YUCK!!! I never want to think about a boy/man talking a bath again.

A book that just gives me the creeps every time I think about it, which is extremely rare, is Bliss by Lauren Myracle. It started out okay, and then it took a turn for the worse very quickly. It is still hard for me to not remember a certain part of the book that involves and very disturbed girl and her creepy relationship with her cats.
