Yeah, I feel that way about Hardy too. I've liked his poems since I discovered them in my early teens, both the serious ones like "In Time of 'The Breaking of Nations'" and the sarcastic ones like "Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave?" I eventually made it through Tess of the d'Urbervilles, but it was so unrelievedly painful that I can't imagine wanting to try another.
