This is the main reason I've never made it past a few chapters. It drove me crazy.

Except maybe Catcher in the Rye... no I take that back, Holden annoyed the crap out of me but there was some sort of point.

I loved
Catcher in the Rye. Loved, loved, loved it. Fairly early in our marriage, I learned that my wife had never read it, and I was bugging her that she
had to. I remember watching while she finished it. As I looked at her expectantly, she put it down and rather slowly said, "So . . . you
liked this?"
(At least I laughed when she said that.)
Seriously, sometimes I've wondered if it's a high school-or college-aged guy's book.
As for a more inane book, that's easy:
The Old Man and the Sea.
