<p>The Lord of the Flies...I thoroughly hated that book.
I am cheese (or something like that) I don't really remember what the title is, but that book was horrible. We read it in 8th grade or something.</p>
<p>Hard times by Charles Dickens, ugh hated it, couldn't finish it.</p>
<p>To cure everyone's case of boringitis - try Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. Hee hee.</p>

<p>Agreed, not a boring page in that book. Why, sometimes I get to the end and immediately start from the beginning again -- it seems so natural....</p>

The Catcher in the Rye. It killed me. It really did.

</p>
<p>LOL. nice play on words.</p>
<p>and.. i liked lord of the flies and brave new world!</p>
<p>scarlet letter is definitely, if not the worst, one of the worst books i've ever read</p>
<p>i was supposed to read about half these books for english and sparknoted every single one after about ten pages</p>
<p>Frankenstein. Verbose, over-descriptive, mind-blowingly rambling, and boring as hell.</p>
<p>sushi_lub: "The Lord of the Flies...I thoroughly hated that book."</p>
<p>Really? What specifically? I thoroughly enjoyed it. Quite the adventure tale. Excited my imagination.</p>
<p>I liked AToTC, Sydney Carton is my hero.</p>
<p>I think The Scarlet Letter is the worst book I've ever read. Jane Eyre is up there too</p>
<p>I probably force myself to relate to the books that I read, because I found Wuthering Heights/Catch-22/Jane Eyre/To Kill A Mockingbird etcetcetc all ok.</p>
<p>NOT the top 5 books of the century, but at least I finished them feeling like it was ok.</p>
<p>LOL...</p>
<p>Oh, but I didnt like Frankenstein. That book was just WEIRD.</p>
<p>Ew gross I almost forgot about Huck Finn!! Probably because I only skimmed parts of it and skipped a chapter here and there.
I guess I really liked the beginning and the end but I couldnt stay awake during some of the parts in the middle.</p>
<p>I liked Lord of the Flies as well! I'm just starting Brave New World..sounds quite interesting.
To Kill the Mockingbird..wow havent read that in forever but I really did enjoy it!</p>
<p>I liked a lot of the books mentioned here!! Hmmm...ok...I wasn't a fan of The Old Man and the Sea. Soooo boring. Luckily, I only had to read excerpts of Moby Dick (aka the good parts) but I've heard that's a killer.</p>
<p>Sense And Sensibility</p>
<p>Pride and Prejudice</p>
<p>I really think that if you guys had not read the Scarlett Letter for school, you would have enjoyed it. At least I did. But then the ones of you who aren't into that sort of thing wouldn't have read it. Eh, whatevs.</p>
<p>Great Expectations sucked. Last school book I read despite not liking it. I didn't like Catch-22 or a Clockwork Orange that much either.</p>
<p>People in this thread need to stop ragging on Steinbeck. Haha. </p>
<p>I hated when were reading Emily Dickinson poems. I can't stand her. I also hated reading "Walden," although I liked "Civil Disobedience" by Thoreau.</p>
<p>What? I actually liked the scarlet letter! And great expectations (kind of, disliked his horrendously LONG descriptions, the fact that he got paid by word showed)</p>
<p>I would say “The Sun also rises”. My teacher was god awful at the time, and i think the fact that she liked it made me hate it even more. Plus i dont really like hemingway, and the storyline was kind of dumb.
Catch 22 was pretty annoying because it was basically sex, prostitution, despair, more sex</p>
<p>A Tale of Two Cities</p>
<p>I could never get through it. Sparknotes all the way!</p>
<p>I also am not a fan of Huck Finn. I didn’t think it was funny at all.</p>
