There's a lot of important works that aren't very likable, but that doesn't diminish their importance. Maybe you hate A Tale of Two Cities or loathe A Handmaid's Tale, but it's important that books that make up the cultural foundation or provide relevant commentary on it are available. If it was all about popularity the library would be jammed full of nothing but garbage by John Grisham, Dan Brown and Stephanie Meyer. It would be high-fructose all the way. Eat your vegetables. Digest difficult, disagreeable things.
