Just because it's a "classic", doesn't mean you have to like it. Same goes for movies, music, exc... Like Water for Chocolate bored the hell out of me when I had to read it in high school. Classic my ass!

just because you "don't like it" doesn't mean it's "horrible", especially if it's a "classic".

If you don't like it, "horrible" is a perfectly acceptable term you could use to describe it. Just because you think it's horrible, doesn't mean people need to agree with you. I think the title of this post was worst book YOU have read. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I love Jane Austen novels, love Like Water for Chocolate (I agree that it is not a classic, though), and I recommend The Jungle to anyone that works in the internet retail industry (lots of similarities, at least in 2001 Seattle.) I can not stand Faulkner. I had to read it for a class devoted soley to Faulkner, and my Professor turned me completely off Faulkner.

But, for a class... Lord of the Flies. Read it two years ago and all I remember is some cannibalism and a seashell.
dude

i've tried, twice, to read that book for pleasure and have made it about 15 pages both times. so dense.
