F YOU PIP I HATE YOU 251032
Dave Fortin @davidwfortin.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I had to read The Scarlet Letter and hated it so much that all these years later I still grind my teeth when I think of it. 020
Jeremiah Avery @jlavery522.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I despised that book, as well. The teacher was angry at my class for not basically praising the book and placing Holden on the same pedestal she had placed him on. We thought he was a spoiled brat. 050
chaosgrenade4ever.bsky.social @chaosgrenade4ever.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Made to read "Death Be Not Proud (book)" by John Gunther in middle school (8th grade). Went into high school convinced I was going to die of brain cancer... 010
Brett @hoopbears.bsky.social · 30/04/2026"Jude the Obscure" by Thomas Hardy I truly can't remember a single detail - only the excruciating pain every time I opened it up and started reading 020
Pam @plantscatsandbooks.bsky.social · 30/04/2026The Great Gatsby and The Scarlet Letter. The former more than the latter. 000
👻Really Spooky Smith👻 @reallyseansmith.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I think I dodged Catcher in the Rye somehow, but The Great Gatsby can suck it. 130
WalkingTaako but Spooky 🏴☠️🏳️🪣💩 @walkingtaako.bsky.social · 30/04/2026You're never going to kill a Beatle with that attitude. 020
Mark, Kitty Cuddler @vogonpoetry.live · 30/04/2026It’s one of the few books I never finished. Made it like two chapters and tossed it. 010

Skill GAAP (Lady GAGAS) @tomatoburger.bsky.social · 30/04/2026THANK YOU! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. 020
Lily Crue Tamed by Titanium @lilycrue.bsky.social · 30/04/2026My high school had us read Native Alaskan Authors. I have never read Catcher in the Rye. Most of that sort of book, I read in college or afterwards because no one else seems to have read about romance and seal hunting... 010
The Uncanny Necrotelicom @necrotelicom.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Heart of Darkness. Loathsome. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. I liked Great Expectations - Miss Havisham was... extremely influential. I'd have preferred a whole book about her, TBH. 😈😈😈 (No Gatsby for us; we got The Jungle instead. Jesus, that left SCARS!) 010
Fnarf @fnarf.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I had to read The Fountainhead in 10th grade. It's worse than all of these other contenders combined. 010
VivicorpCEO @vivicorpceo.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Great Gatsby. It was a perfect storm of everything that could be bad in a book, poorly made characters, boring writing style, boring story devoid of substance, and a plot that never went anywhere of interest. It is, to this day, the worst piece of fiction I have ever read 010
Lyse @lyse.myatproto.social · 30/04/2026Our deranged teacher made us all write a paper comparing the sister Pheobe to Phoebus Apollo because obviously there was a connection based on the names 110
Wotan, From Texas @wotantx.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Billy Budd, Sailor. IDK how many times I had to read just the first chapter. I never knew until then just how horrible a writer Melville was. In the rare instances where he had something good to say, the misquotes are still better. 120
Cerebellum and Open Border Appreciating Neuropsychologist🦦🦥 @dbuddingphd.myatproto.social · 30/04/2026Yes! I was shocked to have better enjoyed the Glass family series 000
Memento (spooky) Morty 🌙 @mementomorty.bsky.social · 30/04/2026one of the few books where I found the protagonist truly insufferable and was actively rooting against him 11581
Tyler, from the Internet (Haunted) @tylerfromtheinternet.com · 30/04/2026you just didn't like it bc you're not an assassin 150
P. @redheadedhermit.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Catcher in the rye got me in the habit of saying goddamn a lot. The only likeable thing about Holden is that he was decent to his sister. 000
