Probably The Catcher in the Rye for me. All the main character does is whine through the whole thing about how he has the social skills of a plank of wood, how everyone is phony (which is possibly the most nerve-grating word in the English language), and about how everyone hates him because he's a fucking moron. Seriously, the modern day equivalent could be found on Myspace in the time it takes your computer to load a page, only this time the subject material will be about how they lost their goddam iPod.
I think books like that should be banned for inadvertently causing illiteracy in this country. That's the only kind of crap schools have kids read, so they think that all books are that terrible. Or it could just be MTV and shows like "pimp my ride."
...Or the Bible. Not only has it made a disturbingly large portion of the world into mindless idiots and contributed to a large number of the wars that've occured throughout history, but we'd be at least two-hundred years more technologically advanced if it weren't for it. But I suppose its redeeming quality is that it's a good laugh.
