How some people cannot like The Catcher The Rye is beyond me.. when I read taht book at the age of 16 I loved it to pieces.
Worst?
Unterm Rad (Lit: Under the Wheel) by Hermann Hesse.
What a piece of shit.
Also: The God of Small Things. Good/important topic but stylistically just silly wanking.

As someone has already said "A Seperate Peace" and a new one to this list: "Warrior Woman".
It could be summed up as a collection of stories some first generation Asian-american was told by her mother. Sounds decent enough but it ends up extremely confusing. To make a literary analogy: take the sections of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" when Chief is in the fog and make a book in that style.

Probably The Assault by Harry Mulisch, often lauded as one of Holland's greatest writers and greatest books and even quite famous outside the Netherlands.
I couldn't stand it, so horribly dull. The characters were so so so boring.

Figures. I read that out of my own free will and enjoyed it immensely. I wouldn't call it entertaining, but extremely interesting. I see that getting it pushed on you by some demonic teacher greatly diminishes it.sentient_afterbirth said:
Julius Caesar by none other than Shakespeare...f*ck you Shakespeare you're a horrible writer.
But yeah, I did not care for that play at all.
Actual book wise, I would have to say The Hobbit. I couldn't get into it's childish tone. LOTR is 1,000,000x better.

The one that immediately springs to mind is to kill a mockingbird. I love reading just not when i'm been made to!
I gotta go with Pride and Prejudice. I recognize the different classical works for what they are, I realize I'm going to like some more than others but they all have merits, and the merits of Pride and Prejudice, as they were expressed, almost seemed spiteful to anyone that wasn't already obsessed with class struggles in that time period.
I personally liked that book (if its the one I'm thinking of. There are two books that go by that name. Synopsis, please?)Verex said:

Oh, I hated that book. I second this with as much hatred as I have for my submitted book...Z of the Na said:
