I had to read this for school once.

I fucking hated it.

"You must not tell anyone," my mother said, "what I am about to tell you. In China your father had a sister who killed herself. She jumped into the family well. We say that your father has all brothers because it is as if she had never been born."

Experiences with this book? I've been assigned it three times in high school and college.

I'm going to interpret "worst" as meaning "worst personal experience with a book."

Fuck this book. It's awful.

Fuck this trash and the horse it rode in on; not a singly person in my class enjoyed it and the attempts to have any sort of conversation were stulted and forced by the teacher.

I'll admit, Scarlet Letter, O Pioneers and Beloved were all terrible reads for me - but this shit right here takes the fucking cake.

Boring Autobiography + Unlikeable author + uninteresting story + even the teacher being apathetic to what we got out of it = SHIT.

who else had to read this pathetic excuse of a book
