First - tangent - Anubis, thanks so much for that G.R.I.P.E.S. link! I hadn't seen that and I laughed so hard!
As for books, yes, Ann, I've had that experience. Like Terry, it was assigned for English class -
The Collector. This guy wins the lottery, kidnaps a girl, hides her in his basement, is afraid to take her to the doctor when she gets sick, so she dies and he goes out to fetch another girl to hide in his basement.
It was gross, it was crude, it was horrible and it had No. Redeeming. Value. Whatsoever.
I actually didn't finish the book - I listened to the discussion in class and faked my way through the exam.
Hm...or is that the one I actually challenged the teacher on and refused to finish? I think it might've been...
Bethy (who didn't much care for that teacher at all, except for when he assigned
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
