ITT: Books With Unrealistic Dialogue

Les Miserables, some of the dialogues there seem very forced and not something one person would say to another.

Pretty much every book? Real life conversations are generally asinine.

I love how the children speak and act more maturely than the narrator.

Ivy Compton-Burnett. I love it.

The Road, Cormac McCarthy
Dialogue was written weirdly I thought

Realistic compared to what? Your Tinder profile? Shakespeare?

Shall I compare thee to an upstart crow, well able to bombast out dialogue with the best of DeLillo?

Well, reverse the question and you have the more effective prompt; what books have realistic dialogue? Almost all literature leans on unrealistic dialogue to be readable, because realistic dialogue is a bitch. People constantly forget what they're saying, talk over one another, misstructure their sentences, mumble and stammer. Do any books or plays accurately reflect real life speech?

Any book not written in English, unless the dialogue is in English, since very few countries still speak anything other than English.
In 50 years 95 percent of the world will know English as its first language.

I unironically feel like not a single line of dialogue from White Noise felt artificial or a mouthpiece for Delillo. You've never met cultural studies professors or American families before.

I'll admit that you're right for the most part. Very few exceptions. Pic related is the best exception I can think of. Incredibly realistic dialogue, and still entertaining and readable.

Anita Blake series , just the style and type of dialogue that sounds really odd in a no-one will ever talk/speak like that fashion.

I agree, White Noise was one of the first novels I read that was strikingly real in terms of dialogue.

Tfw not overly-educated uppermiddle class WASP.

Sorry OP, you'll be a pleb forever.
