<p>@alwaysleah, you obviously haven’t read The Secret Life of Bees…</p>
<p>Their eyes were watching God… that dialect…Gah</p>
<p>ATPmolecule I forgot about Their Eyes Were Watching God…that takes the place of The Secret Life of Bees. I can’t handle any super-feministic literature, because it’s so forced and stereotypical.</p>
<p>Wuthering Heights… I could not stand it!
And being the book that got read after Crime and Punishment just made it even worse! I spark noted the whole book and the story just seemed so pointless to me. I don’t see the appeal in that book haha</p>
<p>Lord of the Flies. It was one solid lump of obtuse symbolism thick enough to walk across. (I know that makes me terrible)</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter, so boring that after I read about forty pages, I quit. Glad that it wasn’t a reading assignment from class. Kept falling asleep while I was reading it.
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Very boring in the beginning and at the end. Pretty sad in the middle.</p>
<p>I personally thought Wuthering Heights was hard to read but the story/message was excellent 
Worst book: Gulliver’s Travels, enough said. Random capitalization, old English, not to mention a satire on events I had no clue happened.</p>
<p>Animal Farm and The Scarlet Letter (eventually gave up and read the Sparknotes modified version). :D</p>
<p>For me, it was definitely Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. That book was the first book that I did not complete for class and actually used SparkNotes entirely (still got a 95 on the test). The book seemed to going nowhere and I was confused constantly. </p>

<p>The Bell Jar. Anything by Sylvia Plath will only make you depressed lol. </p>

<p>The Scarlet Letter, hands down. Thinking about it makes me cringe.</p>
<p>Jane Eyre. I absolutely wanted to kill Jane by the end, not only was she pathetic, but also annoying and stupid. No other book has made me actually hate the main character like that.</p>
<p>And I loved Animal Farm, George Orwell is one of my favourite writers :)</p>
<p>Catcher in the Rye. blah.</p>
<p>there are actually quite a few, but that one is pretty bad</p>
<p>Great Expectations…</p>
<p>Heart of Darkness… I found it extremely anticlimactic.</p>
<p>This one Faulkner book. Removed it from my memory</p>
<p>A book called The Crazy Horse Electric Game, it was my Freshman year summer-reading book and it was an AWFUL story with horrible character development and the worst ending I’ve ever read.</p>
<p>As for ‘famous’ books, f’ing Pride and Prejudice this year. I want to kill that book with fire.</p>
<p>All the Pretty Horses was about the most boring book I’ve ever read.</p>
<p>Ethan Frome and All Quiet on the Western Front. Both are the only two books I’ve read that have managed to be simultaneously boring and depressing.</p>
<p>
Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorite authors, and it was a great story, but it was painful to get through.</p>
<p>
I love that book! It’s about World War I, did you except sunshine and romance?</p>
