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.
My gods, three months on one book?! That’s ridiculous, I’d hate it too. Very early on every damn class I had in middle and high read Shakespeare, it was tedious to a point of meaning nothing after awhile. My absolute WORST was Grapes of Wrath. Giant fat book, depressing as hell, about The Depression, dragged on and on and on tied into the entire rubric so the instructor constantly referenced it and tied it into every damn thing we read.
After that I was in literature AP, so we moved through so many different works I could find something to like. But my college was similarly affected, probably a cousin professor because we were to study classics, and this woman’s selections were so terrible it put me off recreational reading until after graduate school.
