What the hell. Half of the books listed are actually really good and interesting if you dig deeper into their social and literary context. Hell, some of them are just interesting to read.
Get off your asses, turn off the TV, and start spending more time at the library. |

A couple of the books mentioned are my favorites. However, I truly detest Hawthorne's writing style, and thus, The Scarlet Letter didn't work for me. What's all this about Moby Dick being bad? I loved reading it. |

Some people just have different tastes. I personally liked The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 451, and Uglies (these are all books listed by other people as boring/not liked), but I'm not about to bash someone else for thinking they're boring. |
