50 Famous ‘Literary Masterpieces’ That Actually Suck

38. Lolita, which I personally thought was boring, and couldn’t’ wait to finish it. That said despite the fact that I didn’t like it, I could still appreciate from reading it, that Nabakov is a very talented writer, so at some point I’m going to give some of his other books a go.

39. I’ve tried to read Catch-22 for years. I tried reading the book, watching the movie and I’ve tried the audiobook, and I have yet to get through any of them successfully. I just can’t. It’s just too obtuse for me, I guess.

40. Catcher In The Rye. It is the most pretentious, self important shite I’ve ever read. And I was once stuck on an island for 4 days with only Battlefield Earth to read.
