How I hated Vanity Fair, threw it away before I could finish it. I also can't read Don Quixote, I've tried FIVE TIMES. I got 3/4 of the way through and had no idea what was going on 99% of the time and gave up. I loved the beginning where they're burning all his books, though.

OP, most entertaining book I have ever read is Gone With the Wind. Seriously, you get right into head of the most anti-hero heroine ever created. Let me give a taste of how horrible she is (I would often laugh out loud at how evil she can be.)

The hospitals were filled with dirty, bewhiskered, verminous men who smelled terribly and bore on their bodies wounds hideous enough to turn a Christian’s stomach. The hospitals stank of gangrene, the odor assaulting her nostrils long before the doors were reached, a sickish sweet smell that clung to her hands and hair and haunted her in her dreams. Flies, mosquitoes and gnats hovered in droning, singing swarms over the wards, tormenting the men to curses and weak sobs; and Scarlett, scratching her own mosquito bites, swung palmetto fans until her shoulders ached and she wished that all the men were dead.
