Day 29: A Book Everyone Hated, But I liked

I am taking part in the 30 Day Book Challenge.  Click the link to do it too (and add your blog to my meme)!  *could someone please tell me why my draft page reads "30 Day Book Challenge" and my actual blog page reads "96 Day Book Challenge"?  How do I fix this*

What does "a book everyone hated" even mean?

Does it mean a banned book?  Banned books are often loathed by significant (albeit idiotic) segments of the population, while other (less idiotic) readers champion these books with fierce pride. 

Does it mean a book that really did not sell well? 

A book that got really bad reviews? 

I'm not sure what today's challenge is.  I'll just have to interpret it the best I can. 

I've decided it means a book that most people don't want to read:

I had to read portions of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales in high school, and then I had to read portions of it again in college.  Both times my classmates bemoaned this wonderful work of literature.  I didn't.  I love The Canterbury Tales.  I giggle at Chaucer's bawdy humor and admire his use of the written word to say things he may not have otherwise been able to say (without getting flogged or worse).

If you haven't read Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (or if you have and you didn't like them), then please give this book a chance.  Read it for what it is--medieval satire at its finest.  Enjoy it.  It's brilliant.
