Mansfield Park by Jane Austin.
awful!:yawn:0 -
What? No Fyodor Dostoyevsky or Leo Tolstoy. Most classic Russian lit makes me almost want to hate reading... almost.0

The Scarlet Letter. Freakin hated that.0

I don't think I have a book I have ever hated.
Seriously I took a classics class just to read some classic books on the list lol I love reading.0 -
A Separate Peace - John Knowles0

Wuthering Heights! UGH!0

Idk if these have been said (haven't read all the pages yet) but:
Animal Farm-- I had to read it in 8th grade.... 8th graders don't understand symbolism like that lol
Jane Eyre---- what the what. Seriously. So boring, I didn't even finish the book and accepted a voluntary failure on that test freshman year of high school. I cant even...0 -
As much as I enjoyed most of Hemingway's "Islands in the Stream" the ending of the book was so sad that it made me want to drink heavily.0

I love them all. Swoon.0

Summary of my feelings lol: most books we did as a class I ended up disliking. I had a much higher reading comprehension than the majority of my peers and it was agony to listen to every detail be explained for them... I guess I was a book snob
I had the same experiences! I would get called on and not know where we were because I was so ahead! I would get in trouble almost every day for reading ahead...0 -
The Heart of Darkness. I still have no idea what it was about. Odd thing is, I still own it, 13 years later. No, I haven't cracked it open to give it a second go.
One of my all time favorites that we had to read was Fahrenheit 451. LOVED THAT BOOK! I have read it several times. I also dug Banner In The Sky.
The End.0 -
The Scarlet Letter. Freakin hated that.0

I really don't remember because I was usually to busy flirting or being flirted with during English class especially if it had anything to do with Shakespeare.
I actually enjoyed To Kill a Mocking Bird. Both the book and the movie. We always did both. Don't really remember reading the book, but loved the movie.
I feel like a bimbo saying all that, but I really love reading books now. I'll read a whole novel in a day if it's really good.0 -
Lord of the Flies (I didn't know what the heck was going on) and Moby **** (WTF)0
-
The Bible.
I'll second that. I also have deep, seething hatred for "Heart of Darkness", "The Scarlet Letter", and "O Pioneers!".
But I'm also the weirdo who liked reading James Joyce in high school, so... yeah.0 -
Stuart Little.
I got a 3 pack of EB White books for my 8th birthday (I think) - Trumpet of the Swan, Charlotte's Web, and Stuart Little. LOVED the first two....but I was so grossed out by the idea of a woman giving birth to a mouse (that was the impression I got from the first few chapters) I never finished it, and still don't know if that was the gist of it or not, haha.0 -
Death of a Salesman
The Color Purple
I am the Cheese0 -
A classic I hated- David Copperfield by Charles D'ickens. I actually couldn't bring myself to read it though, so I can't say if the book was actually bad, just slow... maybe I'll give it another chance later.
With that said, I honestly can't believe everyone is listing some of my favorite books... Great Gatsby was awesome if you paid attention, and Animal Farm was brilliant if you knew the back story! of Mice and Men was another great read. 1984 is amazing too, IMO. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and I'm not trying to offend anyone. I just wanted to share my perspective, since it was so much different from everyone else's!

Of Mice and Men.
