What's the most overrated book of all time?

What's the most overrated book of all time?

koran desu

IJ

Ulysses

If by overrated you mean shit, then yeah.

Your diary desu

Other than the edgy answers (Bible and Qur'an)?

I dunno, maybe Gatsby or Catcher in the Rye, though I still like the latter.

Slaughterhouse-Five

the stranger

new testament

To Kill A Mockingbird
Only considered a classic because it's the only book most dumbass Americans have read all the way through.

I think you mean obvious answer. The Bible and the Qur'an are pivotal to the understanding of history but they aren't really impressive works in terms of complexity or even innovation .

They're fairly simplistic yet incredibly influential works of theology.

Whatever your favourite book is tbqhwy

The original scroll was fucking amazing, user. I agree

Overrated? Maybe. A thrill of a read? Definitely.

Is there a big difference? I've just finished reading it the other day and was wondering whether the original scroll was worth looking at.

I don't know, I've heard there is. I haven't read the edited down and first publication of On the Road. There were moments in the original scroll that I really can't see the publisher okaying.

Besides, it was one long chunk of text with no paragraph breaks or chapter breaks. It was wild I thought.

Anything by Hunter S. Thompson.
