Catcher in the Rye - I know, I know....it's supposedly a 'classic'.....but I tried and tried, and, for the life of me...I just don't get it.........it's poorly written, and just.....stupid.....

EXCRUTIATING.I gave up on Moby Dick after a few hundred pages too, but I actually really liked it and want to revisit it at some point when I have more time.

This is probably blasphemy, but I couldn't get past 200 pages of A Prayer For Owen Meany. After he rambled on for 100 pages about the chirstmas pagent and his pseudo-crush on his cousin, I was done. Everyone else I know has loved it though. And I'm a huge John Irving fan too, but I just didn't get it.
The main character reminded me of too many people I've met and known that I can't STAND to be around any longer so I had to quit. This was about four years ago and I'm not compelled to pick it up again ever.A Confederacy of Dunces. I really wanted to like the book, but I just was never able to finish the thing. Everyone kept telling me how great a book it was, but I had to stop about halfway through. Granted, this was when I was eighth grade, and I've been thinking about going back and tackling it again.
