Sen045: it's hardly underrated if it's classic, is it? that said, I enjoy francois rabelais
pwilz: Well, you really shouldn't value my opinion too much, but I'd say Sinclair Lewis's _Babbit_.
fivecats: fun with dick and jane
cgund: I can't believe chaddyboy said "all literature is OVERrated." Who advertises their own ignorance like that?
Frubgarde: Big Tits In Leather by Sir Walter Scott.

wittdooley: Hmm.... I'll take the Canterbury Tales--> Brilliant Satire that still seems relevant today.
BUDDA: Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
fastfingers: to build a fire

Loquutus: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
Karlsen: Something I am bound not to have read
LemonyFresh: The rulebook to ASL
javelin98: Tropic of Cancer
scriptorum: Classic yet underrated? So we're talking about among the least regarded "classics" (which by definition are well-regarded), which one is least deserving of it's reputation? Wow, this is much better than coming up with an answer.
mats-k: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
skrutsch: The Door Into Summer...Oh, that's not classic, is it?
Cavedog_pdx: The Epic of Gilgamesh
Lord_Prussian: This is a trick question, right?

Belash: geekquestion #486
dakarp: Isn't classic liturature appreciated almost by definition? But I'll say Middlemarch, since it is probably my favorite book, and so many of my friend have started it at my suggestion only to quit before too long.
djlg: Anything not written in Europe or North America..
skelebone: The collected Tarzan.
chaddyboy_2000: All literature is OVERrated.
jttm: The Big book of Dirty Limericks
CortexBomb: Underrated by whom? By denoting anything as a classic I would say it's by definition already rated quite highly
CDRodeffer: I think Vivaldi's duets are under-appreciated these days.
sos1: Undoubtedly it's never been translated to English, so I don't know it.
heli: I Promessi Sposi by Alessandro Manzoni tends not to get very high ratings, being considered somewhat didactic, but I like a lot of it, e.g. the priest who means to do good, but just the same is rather fearful.
