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 Hobbit. My teacher who taught me the year it was assigned was very annoying about it.

      Ughhhh this one sticks out to me the most. I could not stand the slowwww pace we were reading at out loud in class. I would count ahead to the section I would have to read and stick a post it note there…and then I would read at my own pace until my name was called and I had to read my section out loud. I swear it took us MONTHS to read that book. I was done in a few weeks, and still able to complete the assignments with it. I got in SO much trouble when my teacher caught me reading ahead. I just could not stand the long winded descriptions of scenery being read out loud in class. I swear it made my brain feel like it was melting.
