The Worst Books We’ve Ever Read

from Classical Et Cetera · host The Memoria Press Podcast Network

In this episode of _Classical Et Cetera_ we take on a risky topic: the worst books we’ve ever read. From beloved classics to modern favorites, we ask what truly makes a book bad. Is it poor writing, or something deeper? Can a beautifully written book still lead readers astray? Along the way, we discuss children’s literature, modern novels, and the importance of discernment in reading. Not every popular book is worth your time, and some may be worth avoiding altogether. *What We're Reading* from This Episode: "The Black Wolf" Louise Penny (Tanya) "He Leadeth Me" Walter Ciszek (Tanya) "Mo Mo" Michael Ende (Martin) "Remarkably Bright Creatures" Shelby Van Pelt (Jessica)
