I used to be, or maybe I still am, such a mean person.
In high school, my English teacher waxed eloquently about Ulysses by James Joyce, so I tried it.
I gave up around page 20, but then I was cheeky and sneaky, and read a couple of random pages past the middle, and asked my teacher what his opinion about those passages was, and could he explain, because I didn't get it.
He promised me he'd re-read the book so he could give me an answer.
(He also smoked gauloises in class.)
