State one awesome and one shitty book you read or tried to read based on /lit/'s recommendation.
Bonus points for obscure works and restrain in trollage.
OPs:
Good:
>Captain Fracasse, by Theophile Gautier
Some frenchanon recommended it years ago and it's now one of my favourite books. Light adventure with amazing descriptions.
Bad:
de Bello Gallico
I love historical work, even more if it's 'original', but I just couldn't get into this one.
