Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger. The most boring book ever written. Coma inducing.

There's the Bible. It reads like a laundry list interspersed with a bunch of violence and then a few nice sounding campaign type quotes that no one pays attention to. That muslim book, what's it's name, could be worse.

I'd say pretty much any religious drivel gives people a perceived excuse for prejudice, subjugation, and murder.

"Forever" by Judy Blume. Teenage girl painfully loses her virginity to a boy that calls his weiner Ralph. I read it way too early in life, it was terrifying.

Forever? I'd call it "30 seconds".

The worst joke ever!
