Anything by Plato.

I unironically agree with Nietzsche: he's a fucking bore.

It could just be that Ancient Greek is really boring when translated into English, though.

I liked watching and listening to Slavoj Zizek and decided to read his book so I did. I finished it but barely, so boring it was.

probably Lord of the Flies. Not that it was really boring, the topic just didn't interest me, it probably would've 10 years ago but if I wanted to get an insight on human nature I am more inclined to pick up, say, Hobbes

The book's like, a hundred pages, but it still managed to be one of the most nothing books I've ever read.
