Query: Detested this book.

I had to read this awful piece of classic lit in college:* You keep reading it hoping/waiting for it to get good. It never does.* I had similar feelings when I read Great Expectations. Never turns the corner.May have been shocking & scandalous when written, but it's long and drawn out now. Just a chore to read. My least favorite classic.It's the opposite of the Count of Monte Cristo, which is stellar.Classics that I enjoyed... recent author from Rutgers translation of Dante's Inferno. Sir Thomas Moore's Utopia. Animal Farm. Scarlett Letter. Lord of the Flies. Gulliver.
