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.

    Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I didn’t like the book even before we spent THREE MONTHS picking it apart in my sophomore English class. It’s only 350 pages. And my teacher refused to believe that I finished it in the 48 hours I had between having her class so I ended up reading it four times before I finally told her I’d take whatever test she wanted to prove I knew it but I wasn’t going to read the damn thing again.

    Plus she was a “it’s in the book, so you have to say it out loud!” kind of white teacher when it came to saying the n-word while reading out loud and just absolutely not.
