To Kill a Mockingbird is fucking terrible IMO.

We get the books are better than the movie.

I prefer the movies to the books GASP

While I love the books, fuck yeah they're overrated.

The Scarlet Letter's plot is largely about the symbolic significance of Christianity, i.e. Hell is guilt and Heaven is freedom for it; I actually liked it because it calls to mind the fact that guilt (and the pain from it) in a religion is usually created by the religion, not cured by it.

My vote goes to Grapes of Wrath (cornerstone of a Nobel Prize in Literature). It might as well have come out and said "Communism--it's as American as apple pie!"

Oddly enough, I was just just getting started on that as I type for English after T.S.L.

It's not even that - you present it to a literary critic and ask them to give it a review, they won't rate it that highly. It's a half decent story, but not as good as comparable works of fantasy, such as Discworld or Lord of the Rings.

LOTR doesn't even come about without the Bible

In fact, the vast majority of fantasy itself bases its foundation on the Bible so I would say that the Bible is a pretty big fucking deal when it comes to literature.

Maybe you don't like the story but calling it overrated is completely idiotic because it's influence on literature cannot be overstated.

I love the books, but I'm willing to admit they're shit, it's a guilty pleasure. Movies are worse.
