I am a barbarian, there is no book I dislike more than Madame Bovary. When I first acquired this book for an English Lit. class I was appalled to discover that the analysis included in the book was twice as long as the story itself. I managed to achieve an F+ in my written paper on this book. While I have lost the original paper somewhere over the last 40 years I do remember that it consisted of four paragraphs each of one line and the title was:

Madame Bovine
or
(Do English majors produce more manure than Cows?)
