<p>Reading "To kill a Mocking Bird" was like constantly stabbing my brain with chopsticks. I don't care about Atticus, or w.e 70/60's name you throw at me. lol</p>
<p>A Picture of Dorian Gray....so....bad....</p>
<p>...But, nobody agrees with me...</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter (So...much...symbolism)
Pride and Prejudice (fell asleep EVERY single time I tried to read it)</p>
<p>I adore some books mentioned here and really hate others, but</p>
<p>Great Expectations. I have a special sort of hatred for Dickens.</p>

<p>This MUST be a joke post. That book is fantastic!</p>
<p>Just about 99% of the books that I have read (99% of that set was also obligatory reading, in essence) were boring. </p>
<p>um, the most recent book I was required to read (before school ended) - Romeo and Juliet.</p>
<p>...My god. Mr. Shakespeare, you're a genius, we get it, but please, please, no need for Anaphoras and Epistrophes and Shakespearean Sonnet/Iambic pentameters shoved down my throats.</p>
<p>I got in trouble almost every day in english (if you count being yelled at trouble) for putting my head down during the boring read.</p>
<p>Yeah I also didn't like To Kill a Mockingbird.</p>
<p>Of Mice and Men was also annoying.</p>

WHAT?!?!?!? THAT IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!1</p>
<p>Great Expectations, undoubtedly the worst book I've EVER read.</p>
<p>I liked Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, though...</p>
<p>Guns and Steel.</p>
<p>I liked Jane Eyre and Great Expectations.</p>
<p>Worst school book ever: Silas Marner...no something about a guy named Mr. Bowdoitch or something in 6th grade.</p>
<p>Guns, Germs, and Steel - I think that's what Hindoo means, and YES it was bad. It drew out what could have been written in a few pages across maybe 700.</p>
<p>I liked Wuthering Heights a LOT, the Picture of Dorian Gray was good as well, ANNNND how can you hate Catch-22?!!</p>
<p>I must admit I thought Crime and Punishment [Dostoevsky] was quite boring [at least the first 20 pages or so.. couldn't bring myself to keep going].</p>
<p>The Awakening was possibly the most boring book ever written. Also I second the person who said Huck Finn. I couldn't even get through the first few chapters cause it was so boring. I had to use sparknotes for the entire book.</p>
<p>Yes, I'm so senile! Thank you, inveniamviam! I couldn't get through the first half of it--maybe that's why I forgot the title!</p>
<p>Here's my list: </p>
<p>Watership Down
A Tale of Two Cities
A World Lit Only By Fire
To Kill A Mockingbird
Huck Finn
Macbeth</p>
<p>Wow and I thought I was the only one who hated some of these books.</p>
<p>Kidnapped was the worst book ever.</p>
<p>Death of a Salesman. Need I say more?</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter, Ethan Frome, and the Awakening give it a run for its money, though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>The dude (John Steinbeck) opens up by describing the scenery. Yes, I understand you need to set the setting. But for pages and pages and pages?!??!! I don't think so! I don't need to know about the little bush! Or the little flowers! Or anything else about the scenery!!! Get on with the story!</p>
<p>PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. I've tried to finish it three time. I can proudly say I got further each time...</p>
<p>^ Haha that's what I was thinking when I first read it. The ending was really sad though. It almost made me cry.</p>
<p>Huck Finn. I hated it so much.</p>
<p>So, so much.</p>
<p>Hated it.</p>
