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

[cakemage]

I used to joke that The Old Man and the Sea was so dry that by the time I finished reading it I was dehydrated. I really can't stand any of Hemingway's writing because of how dry and plain it is, never mind his misogynistic tendencies. I do respect his love of his cats, though. Not enough to take "hating hemingway" off of my LJ/DW interests, but still.

Also on my "hating authors" interest list is Jack Kerouac, as I read On the Road for my Mid-Century Masculinity course about 8 years ago and hated every page of it. It was rushed, disjointed and the main characters were unlikable, selfish assholes.

I also have "hating joseph conrad" on the list, 'cause I think Heart of Darkness is overrated racist shit.

Ayn Rand is also on that list (I probably don't have to go into too much detail as to why), though really I pity her more than I hate her. It must have really sucked for her to go through life as such a joyless shit-pail.

Speaking of shitty writing, I'd probably better get back to work on my Yuletide fic...
