In Reply to: Worst book you ever tried to read? posted by J.R. on June 16, 2004 at 05:29:35:
Several friends loved it. So I tried to read the first page several times, actually making it to page two once.
But the prose was so turgid and poorly written that my eyes tended to glaze over somewhere around the middle of that first page. I could never get significantly beyond page one. Gave up on it. Movie version was actually watchable. Book - unreadable IMO.
I trudged through The Magic Mountain and Mill On The Floss in high schooler - the books weren't bad at all - in fact, MM is a work of genius. But I wasn't ready for it at 16. I like Mill well enough now, although Middlemarch is my absolute favorite. Of all the Eliot books to assign, I never understood the sellection of Mill when MM would have been so much more fun.
