Re: Tell us that one literary classic novel you hate...

Great Expectations.

It's frustrating, because there's a good story buried in there under a pile of Dickensian padding. Also, we're stuck in the POV of the least interesting and least likeable character. I always got the feeling that there was a better novel happening off-screen.

oh my god I fucking hated that book with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. I thought I had nothing to contribute to this thread but you brought back a repressed memory of 9th grade english, thanks anon. FUCK THAT BOOK.

OH FFS THIS BOOK NOOOOOOOOO. I'm also a 9th grade English class victim of this boring piece. We went through it at such a tedious pace to analyze all the symbolism and shit that I lost any desire or interest. I just wanted to read the damn story.

I got in trouble for reading ahead. Like...the teacher expected us all to be literally on the same page, so I read way ahead anyway and then dumbed down all my answers to make it sound like I didn't know what was coming next. It was utter crap the whole way and almost killed my enjoyment of reading totally.

One constant in my K-12 life was getting in trouble for reading ahead. I'm a fast reader, and some of my classmates were so slow, so when we were going around the room reading a paragraph each, I'd end up being three or four stories past where we were when it was my turn to read, so I'd get in trouble for "not paying attention."
