So ...what books are you embarrassed to say you liked? Haggard Send a noteboard - 06/09/2009 05:55:48 AM
?????? 's interesting post got me thinking about what books I hate. Which got me thinking about books that I should hate, but actually secretly enjoy. Here's a few books I'm embarrassed to say I enjoyed:

Dragonlance - the first three; I know in many ways it epitomizes all that is wrong in fantasy, but I still reread it on occasion when I want quick, easy entertainment.

Ditto Feist's Riftwar Saga.

Anne of Green Gables - Yeah, I'm man enough to admit it....

Magic of Recluse novels - The few I've read I didn't mind. They are so formulaic, that I find something comforting in them. The best part is you can read them with your eyes closed. ;)

*MySmiley*
I'm drinkin' some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard's easin' my misery
and Waylon's keepin' me from home
Hank's givin' me those high times-
Cash is gonna sing it low
I'm here gettin' wasted-
just like my country heroes -Hank III
