so much! I read it my junior year of high school. I didn't mind most of the novels that we read for class, but this one [was] just so badly written. I remember even reading a couple of chapters for homework one night and coming to class the next day thinking I was ready, only to learn that one of the characters had actually died in the chapter that we were supposed to have read.
I had no idea, and I read the chapter myself! It just was written in such a droll way that I had totally missed it.""I am CONVINCED that critics laud William Faulkner and teachers are told to teach it because no one truly understands it, and that means it must be complex and worthy.is probably the worst book I have ever read. I love English, love literature, love it all, but that book is insufferable nonsense. I have been on this soapbox for 20 years.
The Good Earth

Far From The Madding Crowd was horrific. Hated Oliver Twist (or anything Dickens) and had to read Les Miserables in French. Tortuous. Loved the musical, hated Hugo’s novel.
How in the name of all of this holy is The Scarlet Letter not on this list
