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

Oh fucking hell, yes! How could I forget!? It's so loooonnnngg. There's a whole chapter that's an encyclopedia of whales.

Two chapters, IIRC.

Noooo :( I love Moby Dick.

Granted I listened to the audiobook

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.
