A novel that made both the Time magazine's and Modern Library's lists of the best 100 novels is fan fiction?

Fan fiction was a poor choice of phrase, I was going to edit that, but totally forgot.
You took my opinion way harsher than I intended, but my basic opinion doesn't change. Everyone has book topics they don't care for...it's not something I've dug my heels in over. Your reaction is way over the top in my opinion.
I've read some reviews of the book in question, as well as background on the author and the book itself. It doesn't interest me. That should be ok and need no strong defense. There are many books with high marks from reviews etc that I didn't like or don't care to read. I can't be unusual in that.
Gone With the Wind, Little Women, are two that spring to mind.
I do take small issue with being so trounced upon for sharing an opinion.
