Excruciatingly Boring Books?
Recently I've gotten back into reading since i have to finish my summer reading project for english class, the books that i have to read this year aren't that bad except for Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin which I hated.
Last summer I had to read one book and let me tell you it was terrible. I had to read "The Inferno" by Dante Alghieri it was such a boring book and it was like 500 pages with almost microscopic text.
Anybody else read some terrible books that they hated?

This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there.

If it was so boring wouldn't it put you to sleep instead of giving you insomnia?

Even Herman Melville's short stories are intolerable. Benito Cereno is an example.

Haha  I thought I was the only one that had to read that book, that was terrible, I don't know how some people view some of these books as masterpieces and great pieces of literature when their books are so boring that no human being can bear to finish them.

Moby Dick and also Death of a Salesman (I think that's what its called).
I never could get through Moby Dick, Thank goodness for movies and cliffnotes, and I only got through Death of a Salesman cause we actually read it in class.
