Just finished; only one of his classics where I didn’t like or care about a single one of the characters

That *should* have been a fantasy novel about an ancient kingdom where, each morning before dawn, the king would ritually order the Sun to rise, and then there was a revolution and the king got thrown out, and after some uncertainty, the people were relieved to see that the Sun still rose.

That already exists. (The title is a Bible quote.)

Before there were Sitcoms, or “When Harry Met Sally” Hemingway was already writing the plot for them. “Women made such swell friends. Awfully swell. In the first place, you had to be in love with a woman to have a basis of friendship.”

Don't forget the novel that inspired Hemingway's: "Son of Psoriasis." The grueling account of a man's struggle with an annoying skin disorder.
