I read it in high school and again at 29 years. What an absolute waste of time. Another one of those books that’s a “classic” merely because everyone says so.

I read it for fun when I was in college and it’s one of my favorite books. Maybe you should try reading it again. You might like it this time.

I read it because everyone was all atwitter about it being in our middle school library. I too, thought it was boring, and I thought the writer must really be a boring guy.

It was a best seller upon release and became a classic because it appealed to multiple generations.

I read it so long ago I don’t remember much about it but I know I didn’t hate it as badly as I hated the movie “Raging Bull” that was supposed to be such a masterpiece. I thought it was more like raging Bullshit. I would call it one of the WORST movies ever made. If I had to drink Starbucks coffee and watch “Raging Bull” at the same time it would be a death sentence.

Try the actual book rather than the Cliffs Notes...... :)
