Moby Dick

I'll confess, I hated this book so much when we had to read in high school, that I actually bought the cliff notes for it so I could pass the test... it's rare for me to not finish a book, so this one always stands out as one of the worst books I had to endure.

"Look up-- pigs are flying!! After hating this since my attempt to read it in high school, I've decided to set aside my lifelong disdain for Mr Mellville's seaworthy tome. You can than Chris Hemsworth's turn in Heart of the Sea and a recent trip to Mystic, CT."

Enforced reading can do that! But even still as an adult so... :p
Sadly Federico, I tried to reread it about 8-10 years ago… it was still a big nope for me. Dare I say, it’s too much of a boy’s book— and this from someone who enjoys adventure tales!
I couldn't agree with you more. My teacher actually spared us the suffering and only made us read the first dozen (or so chapters) which I somewhat LIKED. Then, much later in life, when it came time to sit for my MA exams I had to chug through the whole thing. Horridly stressful experience. I love American Literature...but mainly AFTER 1900.
