Which ones would you not touch? I'm curious why you would judge a classic you haven't read.

The ones that stood out to me were Lolita, Bridget Jones' Diary, and The Color Purple. The answer is simple, content. For the same reasons I won't watch the films based on them. My judgments are based on what I know of the content and reviews from trusted sources. Books labeled "classics" aren't always worth reading in my experience.
