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 count of Monte Cristo. The teacher was amazing, but not a literature one, she had plenty of money (time to correct or even pay people to correct, insane loads of work), and would change what she’d asked for the week before it was due(1/3 of the whole grade).
Thankfully, I have a pretty common name and she accidentally assigned her grade to me on the school’s grade system. If the circumstances were normal I’d have told her, but I was sick and went to the hospital that day. She gave me a 30%. It was literally what she’d just asked us to do. That being said I cannot touch this book, I spent 2 weeks doing the project she’d asked for nothing, asking for tiny details. It was well made, I’d put my soul, swear and tears into it.
