I think I have a tie between Native Son and The Great Gatsby. I swear if it wasn't for Sparknotes and Google I would've failed my Literature classes. I never even read a single chapter of any of those novels.

The Great bloody Gatsby, it's a book describing rich buildings with the occasional afterthought of some kind of non-plot. Still managed to get 100% writing about it in my exam though, apparently my examiner thought along the same lines as I did. Northanger Abbey is a close second, what a [i]terrible[/i] book. The best texts I read were Homer's Odyssey, Doctor Faustus, Of Mice & Men, Frogs and Lysistrata.
