How is that the worst book ever? For one, it's a textbook, and second, algebra is very interesting. I took it last year.

And as for worst books, I have to nominate The Good Earth. I went through and underlined every time Wang Lung said "Well, and" and ended up with something like 100 marks.

Really? I'm reading it and I'm using it for my independent reading assignment at school. Apparently it's a really good book. I've read like the first 20 or so pages so far, and it doesn't seem that bad.

Yeah I looked up several lists of best books on the internet and The Good Earth was frequently mentioned. That's why I decided to read it. So far, I really like it.
