My theory is that they start us off with the absolute worst of an author's work, so if we can get through that, we can get through anything.
Think about it.
Great Expectations is THE worst thing Dickens ever wrote.
Silas Marner put me to sleep.
Ethan Frome - well, that just plain sucked.
And don't EVEN get me started on Moby-Dick.

Ethan Frome - well, that just plain sucked. Ug! Suicide by bobsled! Topped only in pathetic-ness by Jude the Obscure.
