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.
Same. If it’s something I want to read, whether for pure fun or because it’s something I personally want to know about (think something like Les Misérables or the Iliad; they could be tough at times, but I kept going because I wanted to get the original story straight from the source instead of always relying on adaptations or secondary sources) I can always get something of value out of it. However, if someone sat me down with something I had absolutely no interest in, it wouldn’t happen.
