Vivian, my working theory is that I'm too stupid to appreciate their genius. I remember reading The Old Man and the Sea and thinking "What the hell is this crap?" Huckleberry Finn didn't flat out suck, but it certainly didn't knock me over. The Scarlett Letter did flat out suck. D.H. Lawrence? Bwap. Faulkner might have been great, but he didn't speak to me. Melville was torture. In all fairness, maybe I'm would appreciate them more now. I spent much of college in a haze.
