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 school actually did this exact thing. Hunger games was still relatively new (the series wasn’t finished) and for summer reading we all ready to kill a mockingbird and then could choose from three other novels (including the hunger games) each of the three had some similarities to to kill a mockingbird (spectators and Justice) and we were split into three groups by chosen book for the first few weeks and essentially taught the class about our book. It was extremely effective cause here I am more than a decade and i Remeber it.
