Whhat books are you ashamed to admit you've read?

[Danny-Boy]

THIS, according to Lord Bracknell:

Even more worryingly, I have actually read 'Syntactic Structures' by Noam Chomsky.

Me, I think I would own up to (recently):

"A Young Man's Passage" - Julian Clary's autobiography, anal warts and all.

"The Piranhas" - Harold Robbins' last (abnd by far the worst) pot-boiler, littered with grammatical and spelling mistakes. He'd had a massive stroke by then though.

Paddy Ashdown's autobiography (bits of it, anyway).

One of Katie Price's autobiographies whilst working on reception as a Campsite Courier a few summers ago. A real literary low.

Jeffrey Archer, As the Crow flies.

As it happens I have also read Kane and Able and thought it was a good book.

I read Mein Kampf earlier this year, was an interesting read, but pulling it out in public with its Swastika on the back and Hitler's portrait on the front made me feel a bit embarrassed.

I started reading a Martina Cole novel once but had to abandon it as it was such a load of drivel. She's a female Jeffrey Archer.

I read a Jeremy Clarkson book on holiday and enjoyed it. The trouble is, I'm a big, big fan of Stewart Lee as well, and he HATES Top Gear with a passion. I feel I've compromised my comedy principles...

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Health and Efficency...A pervs guide to your neighbours Knickers...

 

[Scampi]

I dont think you should be ashamed of reading anything really. It seems to me that the sort of people who complain about books are the same ones who say we dont read enough. Then it turns out when we do read its the wrong thing. In reality they'd hate it if we all read what they do as they'd cease to have anything to feel superior about.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Most of the Harry Potter series

I read a Syndey Sheldon book once that was utter drivel.. once started though it simply wouldn't have been the done thing to stop half way through.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Most of the Harry Potter series

This, me too, oops!

Same here, only read about 15 of them, gotta brush up on my English classics.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I recently read "Human Race get off your knees, The Lion sleeps no more" by David Icke. Either he is completely mad, or the rest of us are.
