Moby Dick is the book I hated the most. Just the worst slog that i remember making it through.
Oh fucking hell, yes! How could I forget!? It's so loooonnnngg. There's a whole chapter that's an encyclopedia of whales.
Two chapters, IIRC.
Noooo :( I love Moby Dick.
Granted I listened to the audiobook
I know there are a lot of people who love it for the same reasons I hated it, people have different tastes.
I love Lord of the Flies because it gets to the point!
I picked it up from the library years ago on a whim and surprisingly really enjoyed it.
Well, except maybe the multiple pages long chapter about varieties of whales. That was a bit much.
