This isn't so much the #BestLineInABadBook as it is my favorite line in a story I hate. #BookLove17

Mariposa_Bookworm Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne were the bane of my existence in Undergrad. Grrrrr. 8y

#BestLineInABadBook #BookLove17

It's not that this is a bad book, but after dissecting it for a year in GCSE English, and in Religious Education, it just doesn't equate to fun for me. I don't think I will ever read or watch this again! However as it is an important piece of literature, I can appreciate the themes and beautiful quotes ☺

mjdowens This book actually scared me as a kid when we had to read it. It made me view my peers on a level that was creepy. 8y
TrishB Sometimes that dissecting a book for exams etc just totally puts you off! And then you end up doing it all over again with your kids 😋😋!! 8y
Suet624 @mjdowens I had exactly the same experience. Sometimes I wonder if I'm an introvert because of this book. 8y

mjdowens That would be a terrible thing for a book to do to someone. I certainly hope that is not the case. Introverts are just thinkers who think harder and longer than most. That is my opinion anyway👏 8y
Bookworm54 @Suet624 I hope not! I agree with @mjdowens that we are just thinkers 🙂 8y
Suet624 @mjdowens @bookworm54 Yes, we certainly are thinkers. 8y

#17booklove #lovetohate & #booklove17 #bestlineinabadbook kinda fit together today!
My planner decided the quote for me!

I bailed on this series. Too much no for me (Magnus Bane is a-ok though!!) 📚

I don't know that there actually was a best line in this book! But I'll go with this, because it makes no sense. Mostly like the rest of the prose in this book. #bestlineinabadbook #BookLove17

A present day character is trying to explain America's current "war" to a sort of time traveler who thought the Cold War was still going on. This quote made me laugh out loud: America is at war with an Afghan tribe? I'd never heard it described that way. It was the #bestlineinabadbook that stood out to me. #booklove17

I read this book at thirteen (or so) and while I was meh about it some stuck with me. #booklove2017 #day6 #bestlineinabadbook

RadicalReader @lisakoby makes me think that this quote should fit with Hunger Games trilogy 8y

Technically this is not a bad book, I just hate it. I'm a dog person and every time I transferred schools I had to re read this dang book. I'm a dog lover. I just can not take this book. But I love this quote and find it yo be true. #booklove17 #bestlineinabadbook

LeahBergen Nooooo!!! No dog books for me, either. 😭 8y
DragonSadhana Seriously, my grandmother gave this book to me KNOWING I would read it because of the dog cover. I was nine, and I cried for hours. 8y
bookwrm526 I normally don't read dog books, especially sad ones, but I reread this one every few years even though I know it's going to rip my heart out 8y

This is a pretty good line from one of my least favorite books. #bestlineinabadbook #booklove17 #lovetohate #17booklove @jess.how

Perhaps a lot of people will disagree with me, but I thought this was a bad book - maybe it has something to do with me reading it translated into Danish, maybe it is me, maybe it is the book. I don't know. But here is a #bestlineinabadbook. It is a rather good line, I will give you that 👌

Edit: just realised I tagged the wrong person, but now everything should be in order! 👍
