mhuzzellOh right this thing. I will finish! Probably.
Day 29 – A book everyone hated but you liked
I figured for this I'd try the same 'compare my ratings to the average ratings' Goodreads trick that I used to find the 'most overrated book'. Turns out the answer is Freeze Frames, by Katharine Kerr (oh hai). Which I guess is not so surprising, since it's got a weird structure and even her fan group has divided opinions -- but I love that kind of stuff.
However, Freeze Frames has already been an answer, so in the interest of non-repetition, I'll give you Orlando by Virginia Woolf. Which I know, obviously loads of people love, given its enduring popularity and all, but in my little world, it was one of the books that all the first year English students had to read, and none of them seemed to have anything good to say about it. I guess I can see how it would be annoying to analyze, but as I was only reading it for pleasure, I thought it was a lot of fun. Although I was pretty glad to have my English student friend's discarded copy with the annotations, to catch all the inside jokes therein.
