Answer ME! You know you want to share...

So, I know that I've read some books that I never would have read because I've been someplace and was absolutely desperate for something, anything to read. I read my one and only Danielle Steel novel, Malice because my mother had grounded me and taken all of my reading material. She never, ever dreamed I would have read a Danielle Steel book or she would have hid that, too. I was trapped for a summer at my almost completely illeterate relative's and I had only brought two books. By the end of summer, i was desperate and I raided their bookshelves for the only two pieces of fiction they owne. They had Dean Koontz's Dragon Tears and Harrison's Hannibal. I read my first and only book by Fabio out of desperation.

So that leads me to my question: What have you read out of desperation for something printed and bound? I know one of my cousins read blue prints for a summer because that was the only thing in the house. C'mon, we all have book and story that we wished we didn't. I want to know what your's is my flist friends.

My cousin's house only had Goosebumps... and I usually thought they were too scary to finish. I also read Triple trouble in Hollywood (?) at a party my parents went to. I started a Danielle Steel novel at work once, but I was so bored by it I decided to read the bar menu instead.

Some horrible romance novel I wish to god I had never picked up and I'm very grateful that I don't remember the title of. A second romance novel that i read and am ashamed to say I didn't totally despise. Harry Potter book 5. Some fanfiction. A lot of fanfiction involving series I know nothing about. I think a couple forgotten childrens books make that list.

I'm generally not that bored, honestly.
