Top Ten Tuesday

So, I have been following these other blogs [The Broke and the Bookish] that do this Top Ten Tuesday thing where bloggers create lists based on a new theme each week. Given my already disclosed obsession with lists, I suppose it is time for me to join the club.

Plus, I like this week's theme:

Top 10 Characters I Hate:

1. Macon from Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen.
This is my least favorite Dessen book, and mainly because Macon is such a sleaze bag. Sure, in the movie he comes off as dreamy and pure, but in the book he is just another trashy, pushy guy. Yuck.

2. Achilles from Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card
Ugh. This guy gives me the serious willies. Find every synonym for evil and disturbing in the thesaurus and you've got him. Sick. Sadistic. Demonic. Creepy. I could keep going.

3. Victor Frankenstien from Frankenstien by Mary Shelly
I'm sorry, I know that his life sucked and so many people close to him died, but oh my gosh, he was whiney, selfish, and in the end, very, very stupid. I felt like he was more of the monster than the Creature he created.

4. Daisy from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Daisy is one of the reasons why women are perpetually criticized. She makes my feminists senses tingle with disdain until my nose itches, and I hate itching my nose.

5. Richard III from Richard III by William Shakespeare
I think good-old-Richard is one of the most iconic villains in existence. But he really isn't one of those villains you just love to hate; you just hate him, a lot.

6. Catherine from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
I don't know why every iconic contemporary heroine must be obsessed with this book. Who wants what Catherine and Heathcliff had? And who WANTS to be like Catherine? She was a selfish jerk who married for money. Even in my emotion-driven high school days I knew she sucked.

7. Gene from A Separate Peace by John Knowles
I didn't feel bad for him. I felt bad for his best friend who he knocked out of a tree. On purpose.

8. Napolean from Animal Farm by George Orwell
He was based on Joseph Stalin, how could you not hate him?
And he killed Boxer. I'm still bitter over that and I haven't read the book since 9th grade. Yeah. Jerk.

9.Rogerson from Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
This book is designed to make you hate Rogerson, and honestly, it's hard to resist. He has no redeeming qualities. He makes me sick. And the way he destroys Caitlin, from the outside in, makes me never want to trust another male in my life.

10. Assef from The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
He is evil.

Hope you enjoyed!
