Agreed... I like my books dark, but I couldn't finish
The Road, because there was lots of description but very little actual plot. Maybe that changed further into the book, but I didn't feel like slogging through more of it to find out.
As for the list... I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't love
Pride and Prejudice. I think Jane Austen is a good writer, but I just don't find her stories interesting.
