50 Famous ‘Literary Masterpieces’ That Actually Suck

28. I don’t know if The Republic by Plato is a masterpiece but I read somewhere it’s a very important book. It’s just Socrates disagreeing with everyone.

29. Grapes of Wrath. Like, it’s well written and all that but I had to first read it for school back when I preferred fantasy stories. A tale of perpetual suffering that eventually leads to some titty sucking and fruit-induced diarrhea was not up my alley. Even now when I go back to read it it’s just… feels weird to me.
