Hmm... but Candide has the advantage of being short, so by the time you get tired of it you're halfway done. (Actually, I liked it, but didn't read it until college, and only once.)
For some reason The Old Man and the Sea appeared on every single book report list in high school, and I think everyone else but me read it--- on the "it's short" theory.
