<p>Beowulf. . . omg.</p>
<p>Twilight series. bahh</p>
<p>You read the Crystal Cave for a high school class? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Wow. </p>
<p>Worst book that I read for high school… probably I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, tied with Wuthering Heights.</p>
<p>Ethan Frome.</p>
<p>“Has something actually important happened yet? No? Not surprising.”</p>
<p>-Waterland by Graham Swift. I hated that book and I am a history freak.
-Anything by Shakespeare. I do not like him. I never will. Call me uncultured. I’m a freaking humanities major and I still hate him.
-Moby Dick. I never actually read it, but the few chapters I did read were awful and painful.</p>
<p>Invisible Man seconded, just like this quote:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We read Romeo & Juliet in 8th grade, and again freshman year. Ouch…</p>
<p>The Tale of Genji</p>
<p>I’ve read Beowulf I’ve read The Scarlet Letter, and I’ve read Cane, but there is nothing that compares to The Tale of Genji. Luckily, I read it in a great class, so even though the book was awful, I could still get through it.</p>
<p>And yeah, I liked Candide; why’d you say that?</p>
<p>Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for AP Lit
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson for AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>These were so boring</p>
<p>A Separate Peace
Quicksand
Shakespeare stuff (though The Tempest was alright)
T.S. Eliot’s work
The Autobiography of Ben Franklin
Wordsworth’s work
Blake’s work</p>
<p>I’ve only completely read through a few of the required books that I’ve had throughout high school, actually. High school (and the Internet) ruined reading for me.</p>
<p>As much as I hate English class, I can’t really think of any book that I hated. Although I thought it was a pretty good book, Ordinary People was freakin’ depressing</p>
<p>I really loved Candide as well.</p>
<p>I didn’t like The Scarlet Letter that much, but the ending was decent.</p>
<p>i loved wuthering heights. :(</p>
<p>hated king lear… great gatsby… heart of darkness… great expectations…</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby. I did not like it at all and found it hard to understand with no point and boring.</p>
<p>read Bodega Dreams instead. much better, and more modernish version of great gatsby hahah</p>
<p>Frome blows. I actually hate the term “classics,” because most of them are overrated IMO. Bartleby the Scrivner and anything from The Bedford Introduction to Literature makes me wanna die haha…I hate literature, but I’m in an Honors Lit class with the hardest teacher of my life who went to both Harvard and Yale…ugh</p>
<p>As I lay dying</p>
<p>Autobiography of Malcolm X </p>
<p>SHAKESPEARE</p>
<p>The Catcher in the Rye or The Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>
Freshman year. It was a truly horrific experience, on many levels.</p>
<p>I don’t have any fondness for Invisible Man or Shakespeare in general, but both pale in comparison to truly bad high school literature.</p>
<p>Bless Me, Ultima was pretty bad</p>
<p>However, The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhatten is possibly the worst book ever written, which even my Dutch History professor acknowledged</p>
<p>Reading plays always bores me, so I never liked Oedipus or Macbeth, and especially hated Our Town. Other than that I’ve liked or loved the books we read in class.</p>
