<p>the literature ones..the famous ones...the BAD ones..
anyone know any?</p>
<p>Stay away from The Scarlett Letter and Madame Bovary (though this one may not be that bad). You've been warned.</p>
<p>Reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin was so incredibly painful that I cheered when Edna finally drowned herself. As for When Heaven and Earth Changed Places, I so hoped that Le Ly would finally just die and stop being so smug and irritating. Of course she lived to plague me with her accounts of sleeping with sixty-year old foreign men after knowing them for 4 hours. Tsk, tsk.</p>
<p>omg....i loved the awakening.....!!!!!</p>
<p>emma..bronte..eww..</p>
<p>Ulysses is pretty bad if you're not an human encyclopedia. (or unwilling to read the volumes of footnotes.)</p>
<p>or how bout native son, ugh I just wish that the book could have wrapped up early, I think my school picked that book because they needed one piece of "minority" writing. That being said, I immensely enjoyed "invisible man" by ralph ellison</p>
<p>Alice in Wonderland..or maybe I'm just too stupid to appreciate good writing :(</p>
<p>Alice in Wonderland? Aaaahh no I love that book.</p>
<p>My nomination would go to Jude the Obscure and Emma</p>
<p>"War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy</p>
<p>"Rebecca." Hands down.</p>
<p>The Awakening is beautifully written; it just has a lousy message. Anything by Virginia Woolf is way better.</p>
<p>I agree with Native Son....a painful reading experience</p>
<p>What's "Native son", bigjake?</p>
<p>Where do you see this words?</p>
<p>moby dick...boring..well kinda interesting..ehh boring..</p>
<p>a boring play...OUR TOWN!!</p>
<p>I liked the Scarlet Letter, but didn't like The House of the Seven Gables except for the very beginning and very end. I haven't read Madame Bovary, but another class in my school is reading it and all I hear is complaints. By the way, I can't stand Charles Dickens.</p>
<p>Beloved by Tony Morrison. Fail to see why this book is regarded as a classic..think it's only on reading lists because it's politically correct. While I dislike Morrison as a writer, Beloved is about as bad as her books get..she has written better.</p>
<p>I meant "Native Son" the book...semipitern said it was bad...and i agreed</p>
<p>Age of Innocence...Bleh</p>
<p>I'd have to go with Scarlet Letter or The Pearl.</p>
<p>moby dick was good sexydesi! (except for that chapter on all the different kinds of whales, i'll give you that...)</p>
<p>my least favorite is wuthering heights</p>
<p>I loved Beloved!</p>
<p>Heart of Darkness was awful!! Reading it was like trudging through a thick, unyielding forest</p>
