The classics, or atleast some of them are an aqquired taste.
Personally and I know there'll be people who'll think I'm insane etc, but I detest anything Jodi Picoult has written. And yes, I've read them. The tenth circle was...a little better than the others. But yes, I just don't like them. But thats just me.
Also, I like SOME of Anne Rice's novels, but not all. I think the best vampire novelist ever, was Bram Stoker.
I like Pride and Prejudice, but I must agree, Emma is...just horrid. Majority of our class is planning a ceremonial burning of our copies at the end of the HSC. It's flight and...Emma is just..well..she annoys me. Sometimes characters do that and its a good thing, it keeps one interested..but..Emma..she's just a pain in ass.
