These overrated literary classics have had more than enough time in the sun. It's time to spend our time with some others!

Man this is terrible. These works aren't "overrated", they stood the rest of time for a reason, and will continue to be influential for decades or centuries to come.

Also anyone that discounts Lolita or Huck Finn for pedophilia and racism respectively, has the reading comprehension of a wet sock, and nobody should take them seriously.
