<p>I don’t know why but I just love A Tale of Two Cities. I just think the plot is so original and that, even though it’s predictable it’s like, that’s genius! I’m currently reading Ethan Frome in English and I like it so far, it’s a new style that I haven’t read before.</p>

<p>Didn’t really appreciate Midsummer Night’s Dream when I first read it in 7th grade, but fell in love with it when I was Helena in this year’s fall drama production.</p>
<p>As a side note, SO jealous of those who have read Looking for Alaska in school. That would have to be my favorite book of all time.</p>
<p>Among the most despised: Bleak House, Jane Eyre, Heart of Darkness.</p>
<p>How could you not like Heart of Darkness? That book is arguably one of the best pieces of literature ever written in the Western world.</p>
<p>1) To Kill A Mockingbird
2) The Great Gatsby (I hate Daisy, though. Urgh.)
3) The Scarlett Letter (YES, people. I liked it.)
4) Of Mice and Men
5) The Awakening (powerful novel.)</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby and To Kill A Mockingbird are quite amazing novels. They top my list by far. :)</p>
<p>I only have two…
The Great Gatsby
The Glass Menagerie </p>
<p>Right now we are reading A Raisin in the Sun, and I hate it.</p>
<p>1) City of Thieves
2) Mudbound
3) Mother Night
4) To Kill a Mockingbird
5) The Reluctant Fundamentalist</p>
<p>My Top 5:</p>
<p>1.) The Red Badge of Courage (Excellent Novel)
2.) Hamlet
3.) Frankenstein
4.) Of Mice and Men
5.) Death Be Not Proud</p>
<p>My Most Hated Novel: Tess of the D’Urbervilles (most boring, depressing novel I have ever had to read)</p>

<p>Honorable Mentions: Hedda Gabler, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and The Giver</p>
<p>Ok, now you could put as many books as you want…</p>
<p>Best mention for worst (sorry had to include ;p)- Scarlet Letter (the language, oh the language, the ridiculous characters, the endless “symbols”. I could barely read this) 10th grade</p>
<p>Anyway to the real list </p>
<p>5) Catcher in the Rye-You can really hear and connect to Holden. Yes, this is not the most complex or breathtaking story, but it does tell a tale and tells it well (10th grade)
4) Faust- (11th grade)
3) Othello- Because of Iago, an amazing character (9th grade)
2) 1984- I accidentally spoiled myself when reading this, but it was just pure excellence (11th grade)
- The Giver- this book is just amazing, I even read the other books of the “series” afterwords (7th grade, I think? :p)</p>
<p>No books really from this year (12th grade), but so far, I would have to say Handmaiden’s tale was the best (even though it is so messed up)</p>
<p>The Outsiders (9th)
Catcher and the Rye (10th)
The Stranger (11th)
The metamorphosis (12th)
1984 (12th)</p>
