Haha, you are just being a crazy rebel up in here!
I'm not the biggest fan of Shakespeare- I can recognize his talent and his contribution to the written word, but he's not my favorite choice of classic author. Although we ready Macbeth my senior year and I surprised myself by loving it. Really looking forward to the new adaptation with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard.
I wish I liked George R Martin more. I feel like I need to duck when I mention this on the internet. I really wanted to like A Song of Ice and Fire (or is it the other way around?) but I just couldn't get into it. I want to be in on the fun club of fans! Maybe fantasy epics just aren't my jam.
And while I'm hating on authors, I'll just go ahead and say that I don't get the fuss about Fitzgerald or the Great Gatsby.
