We recently read 'The secret agent' by Joseph Conrad for our book group. Just coincidentally (!!!.....not!) almost everyone decided they couldn't make it at the last minute. I think the book proved too much or too hard or too boring or too SOMETHING for most of us. From what I understand (I wasn't there) only 3-4 people attended in the end out of 16 of us.
So just wanted to ask any of you wise souls out there. Is Joseph Conrad really awful & overrated (as I think he is) or is it just me?
