Oh, I forgot Underworld. Literally, "I have nothing to say" the book. The beginning was great because Baseball is amazing. The rest of it is absolute fucking trash. DickLick has the worst editor in the world. Anyone should have read that and gone, "You don't need 70% of what's here."

For myself most of the great books and authors from Dostoevsky to Virgil, this is a product of my own ignorance, lack of passion in the area and inflated expectations of them

Don't be sad, you're free to pat yourself on the back for having read Underworld; I just didn't enjoy it. Which would be fine, but I hear a lot of people talk about it like its this amazing achievement. Which is why I think it's overrated.

Obviously, Ulysses is the most overrated book. But most people who have actually read it are afraid to say how tedious and boring it is, so everyone who hasn't read it thinks its genius is unassailable.
