<p>Ugggh, totally disagree. I loved the Scarlet Letter! So much suspense and drama.</p>
<p>The adventures if "Huckleberry Finn" got tiresome, as did "A Lesson Before Dying"(Huck's beg, and mid. ok, end not; LBD beg and end interesting, mid. not)</p>
<p>and just started the Great Gatsby, so far completely uninterested.</p>
<p>Worst: The Lord of the Rings</p>
<p>It is surprising how famous this book is, and how many people love it so much. High fantasy is for entertainment, not literature.</p>
<p>Best: A Tale of Two Cities, Gone With the Wind, 1984</p>
<p>the chrysalids, read it and die.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As would I...</p>
<p>Worst: Far from the madding crowd</p>
<p>In my Honors English II class, my teacher made us go off a quote by hemingway, saying why Hucklberry Finn was the start of American literature...I disagreed, but I still had to...Pretty much my entire class disagreed with the quote, but we had to. This year, we're forced to take one side, rather than the more open-ended essays last year...She makes us argue for one side, even if we want to completely refute the point being made.</p>
<p>fantasy is an exaggerated mode of fiction related to romance, and it can very easily convey important themes WHILE entertaining the reader...lord of the rings is a great industrialism and the machine vs. nature allegory...</p>
<p>personally, i can't stand madame bovary, heart of darkness, and the iliad.</p>
<p>i love the great gatsby, all of steinbeck's works, shakespeare's hamlet, and oscar wilde tooooo...</p>
<p>shakespeare sucks
it's too exaggerated, overated, unique</p>
<p>what's wrong with uniqueness? but yea, it is rather overrated isn't it. I'm glad i'm not the only one to think so. I saw nothing that genius about shakespeare's language. I thought the plot was until i found out he practically took the plot from other stories and used them for his stories! The Merchant of Venice was one completely unoriginal play. One would think that would be plagarism.</p>

“The Catcher in the Rye” literally had me banging my head into a wall in an attempt to make the pain stop
