Must read

Seriously, check out this selection of one-star Amazon reviews about novels that made Time's Top 100 list. For my favorite, I'm torn between The Sun Also Rises and The Sound and the Fury.

Via Qwantz, of all things.

In a hilarious way, I find this utterly depressing. This is the world we live in, people. This is it.

My favorite is the one for The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe...

“I bought these books to have something nice to read to my grandkids. I had to stop, however, because the books are nothing more than advertisements for “Turkish Delight,” a candy popular in the U.K. The whole point of buying books for my grandkids was to give them a break from advertising, and here (throughout) are ads for this “Turkish Delight”! How much money is this Mr. Lewis getting from the Cadbury’s chocolate company anyway? This man must be laughing to the bank.”

Oh, I take it back. The one for The Sound and the Fury is my favorite:

“This book is like an ungrateful girlfriend. You do your best to understand her and get nothing back in return.”
