That’s the thing it’s not even a good book anyone could write a book like that and just make the communist look as bad as possible but that doesn’t make it good literature why not just write a manifesto and say why you think communism is bad why do you have to write this book animal farm and then force kids to read it?
The reason Madame Bovary is so painful to read is it simply a morality play. Which is obviously outdated, because nobody needs to be condemned to death over adultery.
Yeah, actually, you’re totally right there is nothing good about the Satanic versus I tried to force myself to read it, and it just was absolutely impossible. The biggest problem is the story isn’t told and sequential order and the narration omits to tell you what time peroid. In the first scene the characters are falling out of a plane but in another scene they’re on a plane together so I’m thinking to myself, so this is the same plane that hasn’t yet crashed or has more time passed and they just so happened to be flying together on the same plane? But none of this is ever explained, and scenario after scenario is presented before your eyes, but no plausible plot.
Yes, I agree. The books I was forced to read in high school didn’t make any sense to me. I would’ve enjoyed them much better as a full adult.
It is possible to feel sorry for Heathcliff up to the point where after when Cathy is dead he starts to do some really diabolical things and then I’m not sorry for him anymore. It kind of ruined the book.
I understood the point of animal farm. It was there to put down communism, but it’s a real pain to read. I don’t didn’t enjoy it at all, even though I understood the point of snowball on the whole thing.
Oh my God, I was forced to read portrait of the artist as a young man in school. Worst book I ever read, and then I actually tried to read Ulysses on my own, but it was not interesting, and I even tried Finnegan‘s Wake which is completely incomprehensible.
The Bell Jar, The book has a lot of promise, but it just never delivers anything. I was not able to understand the characters motivations, or her line of reasoning, nor did it give any insight to why she killed herself Sylvia Plath.
I’ve always thought that Finnegan Wake awake is an example of a troll. He wrote it as a joke, he made up a new language. He expected that everybody was gonna bother to learn the new language, and read the book but almost nobody reads that book.
