The Iliad by Homer
I was reading this aloud with my husband, when finally he observed that I DID NOT CARE and said he would finish it without me.
Synopsis: some guy you've never heard of kills some other guy you've never heard of (by piercing him through the nipple, more often than not... there was a definite nipple fixation). But in the midst of the same paragraph, we're told all about the dead guy's back story, the unpronounceable names of his father and seven of his closest friends, some exploit he went on at one point that we've also never heard of and now will never care about because FROM THE MOMENT OF HIS INTRODUCTION, HE'S ALREADY DEAD.
Repeat. Ad nauseum.
Honestly, I would have thought Homer got paid by the word or something. But I guess writing anything down that far in antiquity was an accomplishment... not like he had any competition. (But the Odyssey was still MUCH better.)
