getting angry?

what are books which made you angry, mad...? Who did you want to punch in the face just to land a nice kick a little more south? why did it effect you so much and what did the person do?
 
I got seriously pissed off when I was on the debate team in high school and had to read america's shadow, by william v. spanos. honestly, I don't think this guy wanted the person reading his book to know what he was saying. it was impossible to understand. I think he really just wanted to sound smart by writing in obscure postmodernist verbiage. anyway, I found out he works at binghamton university, so my teammates and I prank called him like thirty times in one day. I also found out he hates debaters using his ideas to win tournaments. hehe, the irony...
 
that has to suck...

Yesterday i got pissed of at the characters in my book, i read Maximum Ride, where 6 children grew up in a lab because they were 98 % human and 2 % bird, so they had wings and could fly, and i was really close to throw the book at the head of some whitecoat... But... i got a grip and punshed my pillow instead.. about 30 times...
 
The short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Gilman really pissed me off when I read it, but not in an immediate, I-need-to-punch-something kind of way. It was more of a deeper kind of feeling, stayed with me. It wasn't that I disagreed with what Gilman was trying to say, in fact it was the complete opposite. I got pissed off right along with her, I guess you could say.
 
Oh, yeah, characters in books torque me off all the time.

I'm such a nut crusher, but guys in novels always make me furious when they start acting pissy.

And shallow, turdly women work me up even more.

I shout at the books sometimes when I'm reading and get like this. It's kind of funny how it freaks my parakeet out lol.
 
I think I've mentioned this several times before but I really hated the romantic interest in 'A Farewell to Arms' by Hemingway because she was such a goose.
I wanted her to die but when she did it was only a short relief because the protagonist would just go on about how much he missed her for some reason.
A book has never affected me more than 'A Farewell to Arms' did.
