Never! LOL! "Animal Farm", "The Outsiders", and "1984" are all good. Believe it or not, I've had 3 classes really like, "The Invisible Man," I never understood why, but you can almost tell which classes will like which novels.
I don't know why, but I grew to like Tolstoy, both "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace." Then again, I liked Hugo's, "Les Misérables," go figure.
Another nomination for worst, absolutely worst classic, "Beowulf." I was lucky enough to have that torture once in high school and 3 times! in college. Egads.
The Cat in the Hat is highly over-rated...
If you put down "Green Eggs and Ham" I'll hunt you down...........
As a matter of fact, I'm turning GE&H into a play for my students to put on, they LOVE that book! (Grades 1, 2, 3-Special Needs Students)
It's another way to help them read, because it's a book they love.
i did not like it in a box
i did not like it with a fox
i did not like it in a house
i did not like it with a mouse
jesse jackson reading it on SNL was hilarious however....
YouTube - Jesse Jackson reads Dr. Suess
catcher in the rye
crime and punishment
Agreed. Highly overrated.
But Horton Hears a Who! still makes me weap.
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
I definitely have to second (or third or fourth or fifth) Catcher in the Rye.
Like Shogun said: Lame.
Though I like a lot of the ones that have been said, especially 100 Years of Solitude. Goshdarnit, that's gotta be basically my favourite book ever.
I can't say I've ever read any over-rated books.
I quite enjoyed both books I've read.
