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.
wow I can’t believe your school did a YA book for English class and not a classic
Honestly my middle school having me read maximum ride is what bolstered my urge to keep reading for so long. I feel like as we get older, a lot of complex books get added (for good reasons), but introducing people to a variety of books is important to try to foster interest in reading at all.
I do expect hunger games will end up being a classic
My school did Hunger Games too.
