Stephen King.
-
Without a doubt it is a toss up between L. Ron Hubbard and Isaac Asimov. Both wrote the most boring Science Fiction I've ever read.
-
(I hope I don't get slaughtered for this..) Michael Crichton His stuff just seems so boring to me.
-
All the authors who contributed to the bible.
-
william shakespeare no contest
-
JK ROWLING
-
I might get slaughtered for this but here goes.... Edgar Allen Poe He wrote like, three or four good short stories and the rest is a bunch of crap.
-
Ernest Hemingway. I never liked any of the stuff I read.
-
Chekhov 90% of Russian writers
-
Mrs. Too-good-for-an-editor-Anne-Rice

GREGORY, CECIL ALBERT (1894-1974), He insisted on writing his own books and sold millions and millions of copies. Probably on the best seller list today. His books are boring, dull and hard to read and very little new information - but they are reprinted almost every year. The title ... Gregory's Street directory!! :) Sorry - couldn't resist that one!!!!
-
I agree too... is there any proof there is a god the bible could be like starwars and christians are just crazy fanatics.
-
Paul Auster (I've read only his "Leviathan", a piece so vapid that I had to laugh out loud at some of the stereotypes, awkward metaphors, braindead plot twists, unbelievable...)
-
Danielle Steele - what a load of rubbish!
-
Jane Austen. They make good films but those books drive me mad. I just hate the way she writes, it is like she is actually making an effort to make every sentence tedious and insubstantial.
-
Danielle Steel
-
I'll go with Enid blyton or J.K.Rowling
-
Charles Dickens.
-
Dan. Brown.
-
Charles Dickens. I find his work tedious and boring.
-
James Patterson
-
Gotta be Danielle Steale! Such gay novels! >:D
-
Probably Shakespear. The complete works of Shakespeare is probably the greatest book ever written (if we exclude religious books to avoid arguments). So why Shakespeare? Not because the stories attributed to him are not fantastic. Just becuase, there is a lot of doubt as to whether they are all originally written by him.

Surprised nobody mentioned the vacuous and vomitous Dan Brown. I read all four of his books. The DaVinci Code is the best, or least bad of them. It contains basic errors of fact, background and simple logic. He survived a trial for plagiarism over the book, but it emerged at the trial that his wife does all his research for him, contrary to what he had always said. Master of the ploy called "deus ex machina", Brown gives religious controversies a bad name. From times gone by, I have to say Hemingway and DH Lawrence. Those were the only writers whose books I balked at reading in school. --- Edit: apologies to Debsmooth; I read and rated her answer after I wrote this.

William Faulkner
-
John Steinbeck! My 11th grade English teacher thought it would be cool to make us read 9 novels in one school year. One of them was "The Grapes of Wrath". It has got to be one of the most depressing, boring books ever written. I just don't see how he can be considered one of America's finest authors.
-
John Grisham.
-
william shakespeare - some of this stuff is amazing - absolutely no contest - but then again some others are just incredibly boring and go no where for me.
-
Marc De Bel. for the very little dutch speaking area of the world. and Terry Pratchet for the English speaking part. The last one is funny, but not for 30plus books.
-
Zoey Dean, Micheal Crichton, JK Rowling.
-
Not really an author.... but a book specifically. Lord of the Flies. It was required reading at my high school... It cause so many problems, even if we had been able to dig out some form of SOMETHING intelligable out of it, I don't think it would be worth the violence it enduced...
-
Dan Brown.
-
Adolf Hitler... Mein Kampf was so full of drivel, it beggars belief that there are so many Neo nazis still out there who believe this claptrap
-
Agatha Christie, Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele. All three of these are equally overrated.
-
JK Rowling is the worst author out there.
-
Edgar Allan Poe
-
James Joyce. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, Mitch Albom...
-
Who ever it is that writes my college text books, then sells them for $250, crazyness...i say we revolt
-
David Baldacci. UGH. Overt foreshadowing much? And Stephen King, and Anne Rice. Hate them all.
-
I'm agreeing with.... Stephen King - I think the guy is just weird. Danielle Steele - I'm positive she sits at her word-process thinking, "Christ! Some people will read anything!" Dan Brown - I enjoyed the The DaVinci Code but the rest was just a load of drivel. Agatha Christie - I can't stand mysteries, always feel like I am being played with, or that I'm so dumb that I need to be led along one step at a time. I know I have more but that's all I have the time for. Truth be known, most writers are overrated because they actually have their work read and corrected and edited by someone else. Isn't it such a shame how many good writers we were put off because we were forced to read then in school before we were ready for them.
-
Stephen King. without a doubt. he was washed up the day he picked up a pen and paper.
-
Nicholas Sparks (Message in a Bottle)
-
James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell. Cornwell more so.
-
James Patterson..Yuuuuck!
-
Sue Henry and Dean Koontz or however you spell their names. The Bible is not Over rated You are just scared of it becaus Satan doesnt come close to Gods power. Also, more than one person wrote the Bible. Why dont you read it ALL then if you could prove that it is over rated then you can open your mouth. But other than that you are on the wrong side of the fence.
-
F. Scott Fitzgerald Just because literary critics claim he wrote "the Great American Novel" doesn't mean "The Great Gatsby" is all that great and the only thing that makes it truly American is the inverse-American dream. He doesn't show his characters through their actions, he shows his characters through their inner thoughts (especially in "This Side of Paradise") and that is boring and self centered.
-
Anthony Horowitz. His first books were nice but then he started to write crap.
-
J. K. Rowling. Stone me if you must.
-
Tom Clancy..he has now got way too technical for me.
