It’s a question inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/books/s/s2jK2DzFrA by u/oh_sneezeus
Is there any book that is considered a classic or regularly shows up on the “100 books to read before you die” lists and such, you had high expectations before reading and then you ended up absolutey detesting?
For me it’s Blindness by José Saramago, it started off good and then page after page it was becoming more unbearable for me to read, I hated the characters, the things they were doing and the conclusions of the book. I was really disappointed because the plot seemed really good and all I ended up with was frustration.
Is there a book that did the same to you?
As soon as I read the prompt my first thought was HoD. Now like most people I was given this to read in 12th grade AP Lit and it just was impossible to get through. I would get through a page and be like what is happening. Just gave up on the book and this might be the only one where that’s happened to me for that reason.
