Today, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is considered a sci-fi classic, but back in 1982 the executives who funded it, Tandem Productions' Jerry Perenchio, Bud Yorkin, and Robin French considered it "deadly dull" and "gets worse every screening."

I made it halfway through The Two Towers before getting too bored with LOTR to continue.
Reading the classics is helpful because it provides a common narrative language for a society. But that's about it. Read what you like.
Big deal.
De gustibus non est disputandum.
Yep... Terry said it all.
Did everybody here read Ulysses by James Joyce?
It's a classic and inaugurated a new era.
I did read it 4 times and have to read more times. This is me.
I hate saying to anybody: "You have to read. You have to read the classics. At least the classics!" and all the variants of this dictatorship.
People have to read for pleasure.
I'm a literature teacher, btw.
I didn't care for the movie either.
