Aye brehs and brehettes what "classic" literature have you read that you think was overrated

[Address_Unknown]

Been struggling for a while to even finish catch 22. I cannot stand what passes for humor in this book and everyone is an egotistical unlikeable arsehole.

Also Moby dikk unabridged has to be one of the most tedious books to read through because 75 percent is straight up whale pornography. Chapters and chapters of pedantic details on parmecetty nonsense that only a marine biologist could appreciate. I love the story and the characters when you get to it but it's a tough ass read.

Grapes of wrath
Catch 22
Great Gatsby.

Mayne y'all sick...Catcher In The Rye and Animal Farm was piff!

Great Expectations I did not like.
Jane Eyre was aight, but it's overrated.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I liked the Catcher in the rye and the same with great gatsby but they were both overrated. Every classic literature is overrated in my opinion. Everything shakespeare wrote.

I don't know about that. Have you ever read Titus of Andronicus? Stephen King couldn't come up with sicker Shyt than what's in that book.

Yeah Animal Farm is one of the best examples of satire and explained how Russia is fukked up to the extent that a toddler could understand it.

It was a good read. Some of that old shyt just isn't digestable

I felt like I could have skipped 200 pages and woudn't have missed a thing. I ended up getting frustrated and not finishing the book. Stopped like 100 pages short.

I fukked with it cause it was just showing how absurd bureaucratic operations and procedures are and cause Yossarian was a funny ass breh

Nope, never read that. All the stuff they made us read in school I'm referring to.

I read Things Fall Apart, Native Son and Catcher in the Rye in high school and didn't understand the significance at the time. But now, having read them years later they're some of my favorite books

Oh okay, but long story short people get raped, ligaments cut off, cut up to pieces and get turned into a pie. William Shakespeare has a dark twisted mind.

 

[SheWantTheD]

Fixed

no clue who that dude is lol

 

[NBA Youngbreh]

no clue who that dude is lol

Some folks be saying he was stealing shyt from Francis Bacon

I'm going with "The Alchemist" too. I could have watched a 5 minute Law of Attraction video and gotten straight to the fukking point.

Native Son, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Raisin in The Son

I respect what those pieces of literature meant culturally I guess, but wasn't feeling 'em

 

[Jermio]

Ulysses

 

[root_eruditorium_org]

I liked Great Gatsby tbh



Maybe cause I could relate with flexin super hard to get a bytch attention but ending up with nothing

yaahh broo. Gatsby is one of the most memorable joints I read in High School. It should be super relateable to alot off us in our 20s with big dreams.

For some reason, I hated A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations.
