    Pretty much anything we had to read in high school. I can't think of any offhand - The Great Gatsby, I think?

    Donte's Inferno.


    Only when I read it in Latin. Which oddly enough, should've been the most riveting. HATED IT.

    Now I enjoyed Lord of the Flies. I cried when they smashed Piggie's glasses.

    Anything Tolkien...

    I know I'll probably be flamed for that...but I did an extensive Tolkien/Lewis class and Lewis won hands down...

    i just can't force myself to read or enjoy Tolkien...

    I'm an avid reader, but I hated a lot of the books I was compelled to read in school.

    The two that stand out most are I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and The Scarlet Letter

    Currently reading The Three Musketeers with my son....I HATE it. It's not a fast read AT ALL and having to figure out all of those french names is a PITA! But he likes it, so we'll finish it....

    Most things by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I just couldn't get into his writing style at all.
