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?
So, that’s what you got from that book? Nothing about living your life in a way that’s fulfilling and won’t leave you with regrets? Nothing about how saving people, even if it’s just one person is a worthwhile goal to have. (And not saving in a religious manner, saving as in getting them out of the slums, helping them clean up their life, keeping them from killing somebody) Nothing about how it’s never too late to turn your life around? Anyways. You can keep your opinion, I’m just letting you know it’s wrong. 😁 I don’t know if it’s conveying over text, but I really am not trying to be mean or rude or arrogant, I’m just really sad about your specific take from this book because there are a lot of life lessons it teaches that need to be retaught so I just had to say something.
