The sound and the Fury. I've tried reading it twice. Never got past halfway.

Over 30 posts and no Moby Dick??? Wow, that is BY FAR the worst I've ever read, well cant say I finished it, but I read far more than I should have bothered with.

The problem with this book is it is about 2k pages long as well as totally boring.

Moby Dick is the greatest book ever written.

Everyone has their own opinion. Apparently, yours is quite unique.

If you ever decide to fight through it, the end is pretty good and quite quotable.

Fahrenheit 451

I think readers give Bradbury some license since he contributed a lot to that genre.

its like trying to read the bible straight through for entertainment.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the awe factor of the bible is its selling point. Awe on a lot of levels. People thinking it more than a work of collaborative fiction is only one aspect of that.

A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man by James Joyce.

A lot of work to get through that one.
