Re: What is the most boring book you have ever read?

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever it is must be something so dull that I didn't bother to read very far in and then promptly forgot about, because nothing really springs to mind. People are bringing up Old Man and the Sea and Moby Dick, and I... remember liking both of those? I certainly didn't have trouble finishing them.

I guess the most "boring" book I've actually finished is probably The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, and that wasn't boring in the sense that the subject didn't interest me. It was just incredibly dry, and technical, and had lots of complicated sentences that went on forever, so it was a lot of work to get through.

Origins of Totalitarianism would be a weird book to say that I "love", but I think it's really fascinating and insightful and I'm curious what you thought of it!

We can be weird together, then! I thought it was really good. The examination of South Africa was pretty interesting to me, I had never heard much about apartheid and it made me look up more about its history. The point she made that people will go to great financial lengths to prop up a racist system seemed particularly germane. *stares in the direction of that stupid fundraising effort for the stupid wall* A whole lot of particularly germane stuff, really. I need to reread it again sometime.

As I recall, the only thing in it that stuck out as wrong was that she declared Hitler to be an uninteresting person and destined to be forgotten. I laughed out loud at that bit. Not her fault, though. He may have been forgettable on a personal level, but he's come to be shorthand for the concept of pure evil in our culture, and until something else replaces Hitler and the Nazis they'll never be able to slide into the obscurity they deserve. Although, of course, that could happen quite soon...
