Top Ten Reasons to Hate Books

The Top Ten
1 They're Boring

15 minutes ago I predicted people would get pissed off at this obvious troll list, and three people have already done so. Pathetic.

Before you say anything, just ask yourself: Books or Netfix?

I think the choice is obvious

Books are not boring. I love books especially fantasy novels.

This is stupid! This guy doesn't want education to live!

2 Adults Make You Read Them

People need to decide which books they want to read. We all have our own tastes, and forcing someone to read a certain book sucks the fun out of reading.

I read on my own choice. My dad suggested the Wheel of Time and I'm glad he did. I didn't have to read it but I did.

Ugh, we have to learn stuff from books. Can't life just be all fun and games and TheTopTens?

I am a almost 13 year old nerd and I CHOOSE to read them for fun.

3 Only Nerds Read Books

That is so rude and mean! Books are what make life fun and interesting, everyone can find a book that is just right for them! Saying that only nerds read books is incredibly false. I hate it when people are mean to other people just because they read books! I am ashamed that anyone would say this ever! Books make you smarter whereas video games, movies, and other things make you dumber plus it ruins your eyesight. The real question here is why I'm typing this instead of getting lost in a good book. Why, if we didn't have books, we would all be depressed. When I'm sad, I get a books, forget about it, make up with the person who upset me, then we're friends again. Books don't make you competitive or anti-social. I am not saying that electronics are bad I cannot live without technology, but I can not live without books. Books make you smarter and enhance your vocabulary, so it's a win-win, right? I am so angry, you basically called more than half the earth nerds! I know 2-year-olds who ...more

That is so dastardly. I am not a nerd (I don't think so, anyway) and I love books and technology. Plus, there are some great NON boring books, like: Artemis Fowl, Big Nate, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, etc. If you don't want a huge vocabulary and no education, then that's perfectly ok with me!

Oh my god this kid hey koolguy switch your name to trollguy and troll somewhere else. But your calling people nerds! WOW read books open your imagination instead of playing Call of Duty!

Okay, I'm a nerd, that isn't even offensive, whoever made this list is probably some kid that doesn't even have a chance at a good college.

4 They Are a Waste of Paper

If everyone wants to "go green" so badly, why can't they just avoid books? Whoever buys them is sooo stupid

Papers are more wasted if they haven't been used...

Now I'm convinced, you're a troll.

...Um dude...you need to look at this again this is wrong

5 They Are Overrated

I would agree because adults say that you should reed books because they are good but really they ain't and that makes them overrated

Yes! Books themselves are still patronized, and they waste a lot of paper! And they say they have little disadvantages...

Well at least books are better than school, and you know what Koolguy? You sit on your butt, playing video games all day.

Are you serious? If anything, their underrated

6 The Movie Is Usually Better

Wrong partially, if you look at The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Divergent and practically almost every teen-fiction movie/ book, the book is usually better than the movie.

The Harry Potter movies cut out some scenes. I used to think the movies were better, but then when I listened to the books, (I was listening to an audiobook) I decided, yes, the book is definitely better.

I Have To Admit That Is Kind Of True. Because Most Of The Time Movies Actually Make More Sense Than Books. So I Kinda Agree And Disagree With Him.

Usually the movies take half the things that happen in the books out. I mean, look what happened with Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

7 They Aren't Funny

Not true. I often laugh aloud when I am reading the Wheel of Time. I promise, you would laugh at chapter 13, book 9. Or how 'bout this? " Elayne felt a great desire to shout 'boo' just to see what would happen." Or... " I am composed. I am tranquil. I am... I'm stripping naked in a room full of people is what I am! " I started quoting after the 6th book.

You OBVIOUSLY have never read The 39 Clues, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson... Probably just read Diary Of A Wimpy Kid saying its good cause there's idiot pictures

When I dony read for a long time, books seem really boring, but when I read they are really cool and makes me live reading.

Agreed books are not fun because books are from the past watch a movie or play video game

8 They Are Useless

Notice how everyone here defending books use proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar? That's because they read, they're frequently in contact those things, and therefore they're good at it. You are stupid, why? BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO READ! Books educate us, The make us smarter, if you read a lot during childhood we will be smarter as we grow. And one last thing, if you can't read then you won't be able to read ANY textbooks and then fail every class.

From: the 8-year old girl who's

Scarily smart for her age. Why?

BECAUSE BOOKS

Books being useless? Please. Books educate us and strengthen the smarts within our skulls. That's a disappointing and immature attitude of yours.

Okay, I'm done feeding the troll now. I just wanted to get those few comments off my chest.

I love how the visitor can say "FUU" to koolguy. But if I said this to anyone I don't like, I'd get suspended. Proves how biased these idiot admins are.

9 They Aren't Electronic

I'm a millennial and I hate all the digital crap. I hate kindles, I hate everything robotic, I don't want to use virtual rubbish ever it looks like something that would give you a headache. The internet gets on my nerves half of it is full of boring crap. I rarely use my phone, I can't remember what year I last sent a text message, but my phone is on the bookshelf in the living room all the time anyway, I can't remember what month I last played a video game.

The day that there is a electricity shortcut that puts you out of electricity you will not be able to use your reading. I can still read books on the other hand without electricity.

I hate you because you're not electronic. In fact, I hate myself! Why can't I just be electronic, I would be so much happier!

-_- Dude Back Then They Didn't Have Electronics And If You Want A Book That's An Electronic Just Go Download On In The Google Play Store And Hit Books You'll Find Some Instresting Books Or You Can Get One About Gaming

10 There Are No Pictures

Lol yup I hate it when there are no pictures because I have no imagination :P And yes I know this is a troll list, I'm just that bored.

Want a good book with pictures? Try Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children trilogy.

Is this some sort of joke? The only people I hear saying "THS SUCKS NO PICTURES" Is a 3-7 year old...

How am I supposed to know what goes on without any PICTURES?!

The Contenders
11 You Look Smarter

So...you don't want to look smarter

I am not sure but I think this guy who made this list is joking around,just sayng.

Lol, I think this is a joke.

I want to look smarter

12 Books Can Be Overpriced

Probably the only valid reason on this list to dislike books.

Internet and crappy phones cost way more

Yeah but video games are not.

Heard of a LIBRARY, fool?

13 Books Make You Fat

I know, right? I'm so fat because I read books, if I used electronics I wouldn't be fat at all! (Sarcastic)

Only if people sit reading them instead of being physical

Lol I read an article saying that books make you fat its true wiki it lmao

This logic fits in with this list

14 They Hurt Your Eyes

If they hurt your eyes you are reading them on your phone or you need reading glasses

No they don't, it's electronics that hurt your'e eyes.

Wha? How the heck?

Only applies to e-books

15 They Are for Old People

Just who do you think you are? I'm possibly the youngest TopTenners on the whole site but let me tell you something... I read books.

I don't care about it I just want to read.

You have not read the books for kids...

Ok... Maybe Jeffrey Archer and stuff yes but a lot of kids seires exist!

16 People Who Read are Not Just Gonna Keep Feeding the Troll.

People who read books aren't gonna give you more reasons to hate them.

17 They Make You Anti-Social
18 They Smell Sometimes
19 Bugs Can Eat Part of the Pages

Yeah! They're so annoying! Bugs can't eat anything electronic! Anyways, electronics lag...but at least it's not bugs...

That isn't books' fault! *Prods Book lovingly*

I hate bugs, they are so crawly.

20 You Don't Know How Good They Are

He does know how good they are, because he knows they are atrocious piles of bullsh! t.

21 You Get Paper Cuts from Them
22 It Has the Twilight Saga
23 If You are on a Low Reading Level You Have to Go to Reading Lab (Reading Lab Kids Hate Books)
