    Moby Dick is the book I hated the most. Just the worst slog that i remember making it through.

        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.
