Most of them, because the covers are so bad. *NM* Jayhawk Send a noteboard - 08/09/2009 04:58:26 PM
?????? '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. ;)
