ITT: Books you hate that everyone else loves

All of the books written for a genre, the 21st century except avant-garde books, the second half of the 20th century, Spanish literature, Japanese literature, and post-18th century Italian literature.

Most people dislike Stranger in a Strange Land, it was only popular for the generation of useless hippies it pandered to.

It's justly denigrated in our time, and because it's so uncompelling, by being Heinlein's flagship title, detaches people from reading further books from him.

Kind of like shitty novels from le black science fiction man.

And not even because I dislike science fiction or PKD, I love A Scanner Darkly and VALIS, but this book is just trash and Blade Runner outdid it in every way, in aesthetic, philosophy and even as a simple sci-fi story.
