To Kill a Mockingbird, and Catcher in the Rye.

Supercoug

TKM is one of my favorite all time. But agree 100% with Catcher.

Jimo Dashen

3/11/18 9:16am

TKM one of the few I've read more than once. It is correctly rated.

I tried to start Catcher in the Rye a couple times.

El Careeb

3/11/18 9:22am

I agree on Catcher in the Rye

I Am The Walrus

3/11/18 10:19am

Did she wear a "butt twitcher" skirt like Holden Caufield's girl

Tsisquan

He’s definitely not the best namesake.

Atlas Shrugged. That one was about 500 pages too long.

Jesse Pinkman

3/11/18 9:18am

I was conservative and lived in a conservative town and still hated it.

Can you imagine being married to Ayn Rand? It'd be torture.

ClackamasCoug

Isn’t she dead?

Well there's that, and those residual checks...

It was.

The "characters" in that book make me wonder if Ayn Rand had ever actually met any human beings

spinner

However many pages it is, minus, like, 2, is how many pages too long it is.

Such an awful novel. I liked the speech, but the book/story is awful.

I get why people say Gatsby is the greatest American novel

I Am The Walrus

3/11/18 10:22am

The writing is fantastic but the overall plot and characters are just ok.

IntelCougar

3/11/18 3:12pm

I like it, but it is far from my favorite. The symbolism is so completely overt

Adrielle

I prefer Melville.

The Hobbit

joelvandyne

3/11/18 9:21am

Lol. You must be joking. One of the best ever.

Orem58thBall

3/11/18 4:40pm

Absolutely not joking. Highly overrated.

joelvandyne

3/11/18 6:14pm

I have to agree. Even though I’m a LOTR fan.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/12/18 4:16pm

Anything Steinbeck.

This book was amazing and helped me during a dark time.

It's a miracle if you're forgiven

Only explanation: he hasn’t actually read them.

I don't hate HP. But it doesn't merit more than a meh.

The Good Earth or Of Mice and Men

RexIdaCoug

3/11/18 10:18am

Loved Of mice and men. Really good story.

Delicate Genius

3/11/18 12:48pm

I hated the way that book ended.

RexIdaCoug

3/11/18 1:26pm

Definitely a difficult ending.

Delicate Genius

3/11/18 1:51pm

I loved both of them when I read them 30 years ago.

Jezza

3/11/18 10:44am

There are a lot of good books people have mentioned here....

CoachSpeak

3/11/18 10:50am

I love Cormac McCarthy but I hated the Road. Couldn't finish it.

Dillinger

3/11/18 10:54am

I finished it but didn't understand the hype. It was just ok. Haven't tried any

IceCreamButt

3/11/18 11:04am

Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, No Country For Old Men, and Child of God

Dillinger

3/11/18 11:06am

I've read every Cormac book and worship at his altar. The Road is totally different but I love it.

Me too. Sucked me in immediately. Loved it all the way through.

RE: Yeah.... Don't read one of the most influential novels in Literature

85fan

3/11/18 2:03pm

lol...why would I care about influence? I hated the book start to finish

Dissenter

3/11/18 6:22pm

Again, when did you read it? I read it for the first time as an adult in college.

Adrielle

3/12/18 11:50am

It's surprisingly (to people who think Halloween) rich

jkccoug

3/11/18 11:14pm

Anything James Joyce.

Yeah, that wasn't that good.

Turd Ferguson

3/11/18 3:14pm

Les Miserables. I want to like it and I’ve started it 3-4 times but never get past the first 130 pages or so.

This thread does not speak well of CB. One of the most disheartening.

I can't fathom hating some of the books in this thread.

shimmy

3/11/18 10:21pm

Being a “great” work doesn’t mean it

Archaea

3/12/18 5:55am

Oh, gee, thanks for the lesson. I hate Gatsby, I just can't comprehend hating Of Mice and Men or Catcher in the Rye.

I love all three of those books....

CoachSpeak

3/12/18 10:53am

I appreciate all three for what they are, but I wouldn't read any of those

Archaea

3/12/18 12:52pm

Because people have differing opinions on books?

AxelDC

3/12/18 7:10am

Ready Player One, The Martian, White Noise

joelvandyne

3/12/18 8:57am

Loved ready, player, one but I was in the mood for a lighter read.

doups3

3/12/18 3:30pm

well of course you didn't like White Noise

Turd Ferguson
