<p>Yeah, kind of a spinoff</p>
<p>Catcher in the Rye
The Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>Romeo and Juliet
Ethan Frome</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter hands down.....</p>
<p>such a droning book. Hawthorne, you don't need to explain the damn forest in a whole page.</p>
<p>A Separate Peace by John Knowles. The WORST book of all time. Even The Once and Future King or All Quiet on the Western Front don't even come close.</p>
<p>They should just call it A Separate Peace of Crap.</p>
<p>Any Hemingway
most Shakespeare</p>
<p>Oh yeah I forgot Heart of Darkness and The Perfect Storm. Just terrible.</p>
<p>Gasp. I actually went out and bought A Separate Peace after we read it in class :P</p>
<p>My list:
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Thigns Fall Apart
Romeo and Juliet (the rest of Shakespeare is great, however)</p>
<p>I also had issues with Les Miserables, but not due to the writing style or anything of that sort - more of the religious content and how it was utilized for in-class discussion. The entire thing was fairly uncomfortable for a closted atheist, so, :</p>
<p>Uh, yeah, A Separate Peace. I tried to read it on my own in 9th grade, and it was so excrutiatingly pointless and pretentious.</p>
<p>shakespeare IS unbearable...that's the one thing i liked about american lit, no shakespeare. and my teacher babbled so much that we had no time to read the scarlet letter. we read the much shorter, anthem, instead. and from what i hear, i got lucky there.</p>
<p>the only shakespeare i've read so far is romeo and juliet and taming of the shrew. both really bad, taming especially bad. we read macbeth later this year and hamlet next year</p>
<p>I loved Othello and Hamlet, but Romeo and Juliet was crap.</p>
<p>Catch 22...just couldn't seem to focus...too long
Lord of the Flies...a little sickening
Pride and Prejudice...just didn't like it?
Romeo and Juliet...overrated
Siddhartha...i think it was because they made us read it over summer</p>
<p>Anyone have an opinion on Fifth Child? We are starting that on Monday. Is it any good?</p>
<p>Scarlet Letter and anything by James Joyce
It takes that man 28343894752908750942 words to say "...and then he opened the door."</p>
<p>I keep thinking of more bad ones...The Bean Trees, The Joy Luck Club, Sword in the Stone, House on Mango, so boring were these stories.</p>
<p>there was this short story by Thurber that I hated-- can't remember the name, though.</p>
<p>The Secret Life of Walter Mitty- that's it</p>
<p>was it the secret life of walter mitty?... i thought that was a good one though</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter
Catcher in the Rye
Brave New World
Siddartha</p>
<p>ooo sorry lol u already got it</p>
