Re: "Masterpieces"... that are overrated.

Anything by Tolkien, Austen, or Brontë. The writing is just...gah. Florid. I could barely get through The Two Towers because of that horrible Sam and Frodo walking across constant dull scenery described in painstaking detail part, I've never managed to finish an Austen book, and we had to read Jane Eyre in Grade 12 Lit and I absolutely hated it.

I'm not amazingly fond of Joyce either, but I don't think that's an uncommon opinion.

All the Bronte sisters? I've never read "Jane Eyre" but I adore "Wuthering Heights" which is written by Charlotte Bronte, a different Bronte sister than the one who wrote "Jane Eyre."

Ugh, Austen, stab my eyes out with a fork though.

I couldn't get through Wuthering Heights either. I think it's something about the style of that timeframe that bugs me on some level. When I think about it, I haven't read a single thing from that era I've liked.

Meh, it's not for everyone :) Me, I really quite like most of the rest of Victorian/Romantic era lit, so the fact that I don't like Austen and Dickens kind of bums me out :/ I think I also dislike about them that their stories usually have a happy ending. . .

Actually, Wuthering Heights was written by Charlotte's sister Emily; Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte.

I had to read Jane Eyre that same year. I actually liked the book - found it an enjoyable read, if not really a page-turner - but I hated having to write about it for class. I felt like Bronte had gone and written a book specifically for high schoolers to read and analyze in English Lit class and all of the discussion topics and essay questions we had to work through were both incredibly obvious and incredibly dull. There was never much disagreement about how to interpret anything, no fun arguments between people who came away with completely different - yet equally valid - interpretations. I felt we were just re-treading the same ground as generations of students and regurgitating all the same ideas.
