When readers just don’t get it.
Here’s a fun link to share with readers. Lincoln Michel at Electric Literature found this Tumblr of One-Star Book Reviews of the classics.
Here’s why Romeo and Juliet received one star:
“First of all, the whole thing is almost all dialogue.”
Or Proust’s Swann’s Way:
“I didn’t really get the cookie thing.”
Even if you don’t share this, you should read some for your own enjoyment. Doing so certainly made my Monday better.
