I didn’t enjoy the Hobbit at all. I read it as an adult which may have been the problem. It felt like a kids book.
Well, it kind of is.

Sorry if this is heresy, but I can’t tolerate Tolkien. None of it.
ETA: I only checked him out when I was in high school because my hot “ intellectual girlfriend liked for me to get in bed with her and read that crap.

I liked the story. Rand can get a little boring with her dialogue at times.
Enders Game...tried listening to it on audiobook. Just wasnt a fan

I'm about to get hammered but, A Confederacy of Dunces. I read it and barely cracked a smile. Way overhyped
I hate that book. The protagonist isn't funny. He's insufferable.

Dune

Dune
Would you mind elaborating? I have tried to start Dune a couple of times, and for whatever reason, I can never get past the first few chapters. I always assume that it's just random things in life that stopped me, and I should give it another try. I'm just curious if I'd be better off not wasting my time.

I think Dune was just OK. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The style got tough to read in places. I finished it, but I quit halfway through the sequel, Dune Messiah. That shite was unreadable.

This.
I tried reading it a few years ago and couldn't make it beyond the introduction of the Pequod. The almost endless exposition on scenery (and in excruciating detail) just wore me down.

I like salinger but i agree on catcher in the rye. Franny and Zooey is better.

Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, in fact, the whole damned trilogy.
I kept waiting for it to get good. It just got more and more depressing. Perhaps the assassination comes from her making her readers want to kill themselves.
I also find Catcher in the Rye to be the biggest mystery of success. The main character if an insufferable c*nt.

Frankenstein - Recently finally completed it - ok, but not what I'd expected; a let-down.
Reread it a couple of weeks ago. I loved the allegory in the book. I have considered putting pen to paper and expounding on it.
