"Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Any genre as long as it's considered a classic by the fandom of the genre

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[iceyred]

'Ulysses' by James Joyce.
Anything by Hemingway. Not a Hemingway fan at all.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

What's your problem with Hemingway? (Serious question, not being flip)

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed on Hemingway. Can't stand him.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Anything Jane Austen but more because of the way they're treated than the books themselves

They're glorified romcoms. Fun but ultimately lacking depth regardless of how desperately your high school english teacher digs

I feel the same about lots of Shakespeare too

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

I've mentioned it on this comm before, but I loathe everything I've read by the Bronte sisters but MOSTLY Wuthering Heights

and also everything I've read by Joseph Conrad.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[kaijinscendre]

Anything by Shakespeare. They are such a chore to read.

I still maintain that the only reason teachers use The Scarlet Letter is that they need an example of "17th-century American literature" that isn't as godawful as the literature actually written in America during the 17th century. (By way of comparison, one teacher had us read The Sovereignty and Goodness of God, which makes Hawthorne look like Nietzsche.)

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

I love Dickens' stories, but hate his books. Jesus Christ man, just get to the point!

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[dethtoll]

Too many to list (including most of the classic literary canon circa ~1850-1920) but I'd have to say Planescape Torment is probably the one people know me most by.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Dune.

Fucking hate Dune. And still harbor resentful thoughts to the friend who recced it to me. "You have to read it, it's a sci-fi classic!"

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like Thomas Hardy. It was a chore.

I loved Chaucer when all of my classmates hated the stories.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

John Hughes movies, especially "The Breakfast Club." I was in high school when I first watched it and I just did not get why my friends all loved it. Maybe I needed to spend more time in detention.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Jane Eyre. I hate it, especially after having to read it so many times for school.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Most 'classic' movies that movie snobs like. Like Pulp Fiction, anything by Wes Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and so on. I just don't find them that amazing.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

On the Road. It just made me annoyed.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

- The Great Gatsby
- Soylent Green
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- The Dark Knight Returns
- The Killing Joke
- A Contract with God (This is literally the only thing by Eisner I've read that I didn't like, though. And I've read a LOT of his works.)

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Always and forever Lord of the Flies.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Billy Budd. Goddamn I read the same sentences over and over and still had no idea what the fuck was going on.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Casablanca. Fuck that movie.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

the white whale (what the fuck was that book)

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

The Labyrinth.

I was born into the generation loves some 80's banana hammock, but weighted crotches aside, there's absolutely nothing of value or interest in the movie for me.

I've been made to watch it by two of my friends, one of them several times because she just doesn't understand how I can't find interest in the movie. Thanks, no thanks, keep your tights and scene chewing 'goblin' king.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

Bioshock seems highly overrated to me.
Can't stand Friends.

Re: "Classics" that you hate?

[tachyonme]

Tarzan (the book) and The Odyssey. UGH. They're both so boring. Tarzan in particular was a chore to get through.

That said, I don't mind either of them in non-book form, and I do wonder if maybe I thought The Odyssey was boring primarily because I'd already seen it on TV in various ways. And also because it isn't really meant to be read.

I also couldn't get through Dracula, which is a shame because I adore vampires, and I think it might be a similar issue.

Paulo Coelo's Alchemist.
So deep! So thoughtful! So highly spiritual!! ... yeah no try instead so awfully Boring, and what with all the Clichés and random Important Capital Letters?
