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.

    I had a teacher in school who told us at the start of the year that around Christmas we would be asked to bring in a book we were reading at home and tell the class about it. There was no judgement when we brought the books in with some books ranging from suitable for ages 8-18, I think I was about 12 at the time and brought memoirs of a geisha

      I started reading when I was about two, picking words out of books, magazines and newspapers (according to my mother, anyway) and I was reading Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe and I don’t remember what all by second or third grade. If we’d been in class together, we’d have given that poor teacher a heart attack!
