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?
Hemingway, the old man and the sea. So much struggle to get a fish and other fishes eat it on the cat back home. I was angry taking the time to read it.
I read that book in 8th grade and hated it- looking back that seems a weird age to introduce that terrible book to children 😂
The idea of a middle school child having to read Hemingway is so funny to me
