I love Jane Austen. :)

Literature is a matter of taste always, and not everyone will find a "classic" book enjoyable to read.

For example, On the Road (Jack Keroauc) gets so much exclamation over it to this day, but I thought it was a shitty book cover to cover. I could appreciate some of the morals that CAN be drawn from the book, but I honestly don't feel like the author put them in there on purpose, or was trying to teach anything to anyone by writing the book. Mostly it just seemed like a story about a doormat following his shitty womanizing asshole friend around taking notes. If it had been written like a nature documentary I might have liked it better.

I love your description of Kerouac. :) Made me giggle.

I feel pretty much the same way about most of the Beats; it's only when you widen out the circle to, say, Denise Levertov or Gregory Corso (who is fantastic), that I get interested in their writing. Mostly, they just seem super douchey to me (especially Kerouac and Burroughs ugh) which usually isn't a problem for me. I can usually separate my reaction to a work of fiction or art or whatever from my reaction to its creator but not so for the Beats for some reason.

Oh, thank heavens, someone who hates On the Road as much as I do. I even have "hating Jack Kerouac" as an lj/dw interest (along with a few others) because that book pissed me off so much.

I couldn't even finish On The Road because it was just so incredibly bad. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
