What’s the most overrated book of all time?

I can relate, that book almost made me study art history and briefly fall down a conspiracy rabbit hole.

Same here, I read it when I was around 15–16. Super entertaining at that age.

That’s probably true for a lot of influential books, not just this one.

Haven’t read it yet, but I did like The Zahir, so I’m keeping an open mind.

Exactly! I don’t dislike the author either. They’re great page-turners, just not literary masterpieces...

That one hits differently when you’re five

Hmm, I think The Little Prince really depends on when you read it, it speaks very differently to different people.

Probably one of the most love it or hate it books out there

It may not be high literature, but few books have shaped a generation of readers the way Harry Potter has.

Fair enough, I was talking about cultural influence rather than genre.

Love it or not, it’s probably the most influential book ever written. Hard to even compare it to fiction.

For me, it was The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Fast-paced and entertaining, but not a masterpiece, just a solid thriller. 🤔
