The Catcher In The Rye most trash book ever

I liked gatsby because the narrator thought everything that happened was bullshit too. I HATED catcher in the rye though.

All of the books listed here I hated with a passion, but none more so than The Catcher in the Rye. GOD.

I had to force myself to read that shit. Anything by Steinbeck is a basically a sleeping pill.

The Scarlet Letter. I never even read Gatsby, still not sure how I passed that section tbh.

The Awakening. How did my eyes not roll right out of my skull while my ever-so-earnest English teacher rhapsodized for two weeks on Kate Chopin?

There is a burning hatred in my heart for anything Hemingway.

Does not help that my professor last year spent two months with the old fart’s metaphorical balls slapping against his chin.

THE AWAKENING
My english teacher went on about what a feminist piece it was and how well written it was and it really just made me want to stab myself in the eye because it was neither of those things

The Awakening and Grapes of Wrath

G o d i hated grapes of wrath

GRAPES OF GODDAMN WRATH.

Oh God did anyone else have to read You Can’t Go Home Again?  It was WORSE.  700 pages of inane and plotless rambling.  Fucking murderous.
