Classic books that were not fun to read

[The Reckoning]

jane eyre worst book ever

scarlet letter sucked too

[The Reckoning]

walt whitman sucked too. john whittier threw leaves of grass in the fireplace when he read it...but his poems sucked too.


anyone who writes one big poem about a piece of grass and then pumps out another edition of it every year to make money is a fraud.

It's been mentioned but Moby and the New Testament. Old Testament is a fun read otoh. Most of it anyway. Read Dante and liked it which surprised me because i did not expect i would like verse especialy translated verse so now i am going to try some Jules Verne and see how that goes.

Favorite book of fiction I was required to read during my education was Brave New World.

Great Expectations.

Still don't know why that book get so much love, but part of my hatred may stem from the fact that I'd never seen a longer novel in my life before reading it. I already dreaded it before opening up to tha first page.

I stopped reading The Old Man and the Sea 30 pages in and decided I would take whatever grade I got on the test. I got a B.

Also hated The Iliad as a 9th grader, but I may go back and read that at some point.

LOL I hated reading those books in English class. I would daydream about ass and s on days were we had to read them. I don't know how I passed the assignments. House on Mango street was poop and Scarlett Letter was a . That one I really had to force myself to read for English AP class. The only books I ever really liked were Night by Elie Wiesel, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Number the Stars.

Don't know if it's a classic but One Hundred Years of Solitude pisses me off.

Got damn, that is the best book I've ever read.
