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

I enjoyed the chapters about Grapes of Wrath that focused on the family more than the chapters that were allegories for how the government/capitalism was destroying the middle and lower classes. I did enjoy the book over all, though.

I really disliked Mrs. Dalloway for the same reason the Anon didn't like To the Lighthouse. I couldn't seem to follow her thoughts at all, which made my quizzes on each chapter difficult. I'm not much of a Virginia Woolf fan.

I read most of Scarlet Letter, but the ending kind of lost my interest. I remember my teacher saying it was "scandalous" because she had sex outside of her marriage, and I was disappointed that there was no sex in the book other than that she had a magical daughter.

I liked Handmaid's Tale A LOT, but it left a lot to be desired in back-story. How did they end up that way? Beyond just "everyone in Congress was killed," I mean. And what was going on in the rest of the world? In all American-centric dystopias, I always assume the rest of the world is perfectly fine and going about a normal day since America is always super fucked up in general. But I'd still like to see that in the book!
