 | Madame Bovary: A Story of Provincial Life (Penguin Popular Classics) by Gustave Flaubert
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 Really really over-rated rubbish, like a cheap copy of Anna Karenina, not worth the paper its printed on to be honest. Almost (but not as quite as) trashy as Austen!
|
 | Great Expectations (Penguin Popular Classics) by Charles Dickens
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 Because of the hype surrounding Dickens, one certainly has great expectations when beginning to read this novel, but they are sorely unjustified. Not a single likeable character in the entire book.
|
 | Hard Times (Penguin Popular Classics) by Charles Dickens
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 With Dickens, I guess you either love him or hate him, I definitely fall into the second category. This book is full of the most ludicrous, non realistic characters imaginable.
|
 | The Lord of the Rings (3 Book Box set) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: £11.96 / Used from: £6.47 A very boring trio of books, I only read them all to see what the big deal was about but am afraid it sadly passed me by.
|
 | Jane Austen 6-book Boxed Set: "Emma", "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", "Persuasion", "Mansfield Park" and "Northanger Abbey" (Collector's Library) by Jane Austen
Buy new: £23.47 / Used from: £19.99 To me these are very trashy novels that have no substance and relate only the most mundane of situations. No idea how they became classics.

Listmania!
