I never read anything I didn't like. I've never read Lord of the Flies. I always thought of it as an artificial classic, something that English teachers wanted me to think that it was a classic but that actually wasn't a classic. It was a book that they, for some reason, made students read and thereby caused it to be a classic.What are the classic novels you dislike?
I couldn't make it through Jane Eyre.
The Lord of the Rings. Bloody Tom Bombadil, the ultimate pub bore.What are the classic novels you dislike?

Now I did that one for O Level and in consequence I like it a lot, though it is in some ways rather ridiculous, admittedly.Romeo and Juliet wasn't my thing.
We did it at GCSE and I remember specifically writing it's a 'lust story' instead of love. Lol.Now I did that one for O Level and in consequence I like it a lot, though it is in some ways rather ridiculous, admittedly.

Ironically my favouriteWuthering Heights.
No, what put you off?Rival, have you read 'Ulysses'? I never was able to get started as it seemed so chaotic to me.
The writing is difficult to follow; as they say, above my pay grade. lol...You would have to read it to understand the problem.If reading does not 'flow' for me I don't enjoy the read.No, what put you off?

I can't think of any classics that I did like. The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, anything by Shakespeare, Lord of the Flies, Tale of Two Cities, anything by Jane Austen, etc.
I read avidly, and I always have. I would usually read a few books a week in my free time while going to school growing up. But I always thought the classics were boring, unrelatable, irrelevant to my life or my dreams, and conceptually simple.
