Literally any book that you now dislike due to school. This also applies to other literature styles as well.

Mine is The Hunger Games. I had to read it las year in school and it drove me insane. We started doing the novel study in early February and didn’t finish until May. I finished the book in less than two weeks, so I was pretty much just reading personal books all through English class for close to two months.

It’s not even like we had to analyze it super intensely. It was projects like ‘Make a playlist for a character of your choice’ and we had vocabulary tests every week, that were a joke. It was multiple choice for words like quest and forage. I know that English wasn’t everyone’s first language but come on.

I didn’t even like the book that much in the first place, so all of this was just adding to the misery.

    The thought of a school requiring The Hunger Games hurts me to the soul when there are actual books written by sentient human beings that could have been assigned instead.

      What’s this supposed to mean, the book was written by a real human. It wasn’t written by AI if that’s what you’re saying.

      Why? There’s plenty of interesting stuff to unpick there and it’s probably more relevant than a lot of classics lol
