Hi Lauri, I read Pillars of the Earth and in my humble opinion it was pure trash but feel free to disagree.

I'm sure Forever Amber deserved a lot more votes than one...

You are funny Laurie! How do I reconcile "best" and "trashy"? are we looking for the most trashy novel or a trashy novel that is actually good? (-:

Thanks Gita, I think if it's trashy it belongs on this list so don't hesitate to add any 1 star trash you could barely finish. If it's that darn trashy discerning readers everywhere should be warned before potentially wasting money on it.

So don't be shy about discussing whether certain books were trash or not either as a few might be open to discussion. My trash might not be the same as your trash in other words.

Who can deny that Forever Amber was so much fun to read but was it really edifying in any way? Other than great coverage of the bubonic plague Forever Amber has to be in the top 10 of Best Trashy Books.

You are right but did anyone add Peyton Place? I never read it but I think its probably number one for trash from what I heard. I don't think Twilight is trashy as there is no bad language and they behave themselves which you can't say for the protagonists of most trashy novels. Most of them are very naughty.

Odd to see some of the books on this list. My definition of 'trashy' is 'of inferior quality' but it seems many others go for 'indecent', which, in my opinion, none of the titles I noticed are, by the way.

Although the one doesn't necessarily exclude the other, of course.

@Rosa
Seems you have a choice here :-)

Ah Rosa, the main aim I had in mind for this list was to let all the voters share the laughter whilst admitting they had been tempted to read a few of these hilarious titles and mostly ridiculous synopsis's .

You will notice I named my list The Best Trashy novels. So if you consider a book trashy, feel free to add it whether good or bad trashy in your opinion.

Even "Pillars of the Earth" was trashy to a few people although the author is much esteemed.

So I hope you enjoyed yourself whilst voting on my list :D

I just found your email so I'm so sorry for being so late replying to it.
