Candide, Or, Optimism
by Voltaire
Although I understand the philosophy behind the story and the satire involved personally I did not enjoy Candide, possibly this was amplified by having read it on one long train ride rather than over several small readings. Despite knowing the point of Candide being slightly stupid in the novel I found him altogether tiresome and was irritated by his treatment of the woman he loved throughout the book. Perhaps one day I'll read it in French and have a deeper appreciation for it, but currently, I am slightly annoyed by it.
