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 enjoyed F451 when we read it for class

    Lord of the flies on the other hand… teacher had a bit of an agenda to the point of changing parts of the book for test questions. Got called out on it with page numbers and everything, but still refused to back down. Lady was crazy

      F451 was middle school book fair choice of mine and my intruding to science fiction, and it had me hooked from the start. By 11th grade, I had read everything the school libraries had by Bradbury, Asimov, and Clarke.
