Mine was Great Gatsby, maybe im too young to understand it, but gosh darn it, there was so many flashbacks in that story i no longer even understood what was the story or what wasnt the story.

Great Gatsby is a damn good book. For shame on you.

I would have to say The Epic of Gilgamesh? It's been a really long time but that's what popped into my mind.

Tale of Two Cities...

the witch of black bird pond.after 3weeks of trying to get me to read it she gave up and told the whole class we didnt have to anymore.

Fahrenheit 451.

Fuck that book.

>>5 How dare you! >:O

I loved that book, one of my favorite classics.

"The Game"
It was so confusing with so many people talking at once, and there were so many time lapses.And i hated the main charecter.WIth a passion.My whole class agreed.Even the teacher thought it sucked.

Give a Boy a gun. Its so bias to various stereotypes made from the incident at columbine.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
by charles dickens
it was for a summer assignment
descriptions too looooooooooooooooooooooong DX

The Alchemist.
too much symbolismmmmm

Hmmmmm.... Probably La Charca (school assingment) it was a bit too.... Dull.

Twilight...after reading the front page I fell asleep on it...

>>12 They made you read Twilight at your school?

What is the world coming to... D:

The Call of the Wild by Jack London.

Hoot-Carl Hiaasen.
My teacher: Everybody you'll love this! It's so funny and charming!
She lied.

>>13 doom

All of them

>>14 I actually kinda liked that book! Fucking Catcher in the Rye was awful though.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. We had to read at home and after a page I would feel SO sleepy. That never happened before. On any other book I ever read :(

I liked most of the books i read in English and literature, but I would have to say "My Antonia" by Willa Cather. ~240 pages describing Nebraska.

>>18 I actually loved catcher in the rye but I realize It's rare to find people who actually enjoyed that book.
My worst would have to be Romeo and Juliet first of all you can barely understand any of it cause we read it in old English and second of all I just don't like the story in general

@ 1, 3, and 5 those books are amazing, what are you, twelve? Mine is the contender by Robert Lipsyte. In The Great Gatsby there's a philandering strongman what coined the bitchpunch, the same bitch what got bitchpunched gets killed with a car, plus a murder suicide, all in a very short book, the contents of which take place in one summer. (yes I know I should've said who.

Life of Pi and Little Women. The second, especially, seemed to dry my brain up, and it was temporarily turne into pencil shavings. Luckily, I seem to be recovering from the traumatic expirience.

The Red Badge of Courage.

I hated that book so much. It had the potential to be good, but Stephen Crane dumped a shitload of unnecessary figurative language into it, so half of the time, it just seemed like the main character was seriously stoned and was just seeing things.

Also, it was 240 pages too long for a book where almost nothing really happened.

Ancient Greek Plays in general.

It was mind numbing for me. Plus the movie we were shown as a "modern" adaptation was horrible and the entire time I just wanted to bang my head into a brick wall.

The Scarlet Letter and Cold Mountain.

The Great Gatsby haters? For shame.

Worst one I had to read was No Country for Old Men, though my issues with it may have had to do with the lack of punctuation. Probably read about 50 pages in and still managed to ace the paper I had to write for it.

I remember my entire Junior English class hated The Great Gatsby. They said it was boring, thought Nick was gay when they first read the first few pages, and all that shit.

I don't really recall any books I hated in school. Meh.

That was by all means "Die Leiden des jungen Werther/The sorrows of young Werther" by Goethe. I remember that i was almost crying - not because it was touching or sad - but because i wanted it to end so badly i couldn´t stand reading any further...

>>26 Gah! I read "The Scarlet Letter" in my junior year, it was horrible.
Besides "The Scarlet Letter", I also hated "The Devil in the White City". We had to read it for history class and we never even talked about it at all, even though our teacher said that we were going to discuss it all throughout the year, not to mention that the book was a bit dull in my opinion.

Romeo and Juliet

I'd chew my toe off before I pick that up again.

>>31 This.

Except, we read the screenplay. I'm not sure if that can be considered a book.

I always liked school reading...

Except To Kill a Mockingbird, but it was the teacher that made me hate it.

...can't....remember...

It must have been REALLY boring, whichever it was.

The scarlet letter. Actually the first time I read the book it was not to bad, but I had to read it 3 times in high school. Once for freshman year, once junior year, and once for senor year because I took a college class in high school. So after the third time it just put me to sleep.

Under the Blood Red Sun

Cold Sassy Tree, the Southern accents were evil.

How to kill a mocking bird

How to kill a mocking bird

I'm sorry, but I repressed my memories of the book I read in school.

How to kill a mocking bird.
Worst. Book. Ever.

I couldn't even finish To Kill A Mocking Bird.
I kept falling asleep. -___- .
But, Book Thief was pretty good, though!

...is it bad that I enjoyed To Kill a Mocking Bird?

I actually thought it was a rather good book.

Whatever it was, it's not a part of my memory anymore.

The absolute most horrible read I ever did for school was Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The story moves so sluggishly slow, and there is so much detail that I didnt even know what info was relevant anymore, yet despite that, I enjoyed the overall morals and discussion that my class had based on the book. It's weird that I liked the book, but hated reading it.

the big book of manners here!!! :D

The worst book in school I have ever read is a tie between Romeo and Juliet and The catcher and the Rye.... romeo and Juliet because they kill themselves over someone they met two days ago and the catcher and rye well.... I just disliked it in general.

Either Call of the Wild or Huckleberry Finn. I know Huck Finn is a classic, but I got to chapter three and was like, "I understand less than half of what some of them are saying." =_='''
orz

i'd say algebra hahah but hmmmm catcher in the rye I guess, it's just really not my cup of tea.

Fun with Maths. Don't trust the title.

Enders game...UGH.I had to read it over the summer for Honors English 9.It kinda sucked.Kinda went nowhere for me...

"The Republic of Plato" I started reading it and stopped before I dies of boredom. There's no quotation marks and you can never tell who's talking and when. On top of all that Plato was a Pervert!!! And a gay one at that. =_=' It was to wierd and horrible to continue.

I SHOT A MAN IN RENO A HISTORY OF DEATH BY MURDER,SUICIDE,FIRE,FLOOD,DRUGS,DISEASE AND GENERAL MISADVENTURES, AS RELATED IN POPULAR SONG

Author: Graeme Thomson

ha thats the name of the book, 253 pages of death in music I stoped understanding it. Sounds more like an over writen article thatn book.

>>52 WTF is wrong with being gay? Oh and to kill a mockingbird I guess.

the elegant universe
it was a... good book, in its own way? but theoretical physics and lengthy metaphors just don't mix in my opinion.

great expectations: unabriged and To KIll A Mocking Bird

American Tragedy, just...American Tragedy.

The Hound of the Baskervilles and And then there were none.....both are just way too...well...they suck. To put it bluntly.

>>58 Personally, I liked The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Mine was the Blue Hole Back Home.

All must all the books in school

mine was Iracema from an important author here in Brazil, it's so boring that he spends almost 2 pages only to describe (in all details) the principal character

The catcher in the rye. Unless its being used as a clever plot idea in an anime (Ghost in the Shell---> laughing man) that book literally made me feel bad I was even male. Holden makes me hate my gender. I never want to read about a sodding prick and be asked about the implications of his troll ness effecting anything at all other than using the book to keep my chair from wobbling.

>>53 That actually looks pretty interesting

Well mine was an epic poem about the history of my country from 1572, if you understand it I bet it's not bad, but language changes over 500 years...

The Cat in the Hat. That book had some incredible plot points, but ultimately i couldn't keep up. I mean at one point I'm eating green eggs and ham, then out of fuckin' nowhere Sam comes in and starts blabberin about, "I AM."

A lot of people in my school back when I was a Junior, hated the book "The Five People you Meet in Heaven" though I loved the book. It wasn't too long and I got passed it in like 3 dayd (more or less.)

Riders of the Purple Sage. Mainly because there were four main characters, and half of them I didn't care about. At All. I just wanted Jane and Lassiter's story.

F451!

How the great religions began

Philosophy for begginers, I do like philosophy but This book was awfull. It was so bad it had drawings on all pages!

the actual name is "Filosofía para Principiantes" I dont know if the book has been translated to english (I hope not)

F-ing "Tangerine". I read the back cover wrong when we first got the books and ended up getting all excited thinking the story was about aliens, but really the author just used a metaphor and the whole story was the boring life of a sight-impared nerd. Terrrriiible. >:(

Math textbook.

bump
I've changed mine to The Catcher in the Rye. Can't stand this book .

Well, let's see...

Probably the book 'Legend' xD My English teacher is making us read it... And honestly, I fucking hate it. It's so cliche and tons of other books have a that same storyline. People in a plague-filled world, two characters who are in a love-hate relationship, dead family, blah blah blah. I hated it.

I also hated The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. WORST BOOK EVER CREATED. I like the plot and stuff but... damn! I hated the protagonist! She was so freaking... ugh, I can't even... OTL. Terrible.

Madame Bovary

kill it with fire

The Pearl by John Steinbeck. I have yet to touch any of Steinbeck's books ever since.

>>75 What..? His books feature a wide cast of characters each important (and somewhat forgettable) to the main theme in his book! Dare I say, his books, are similar to Durarara, thought without the presence of Izaya instigating the whole plot.

Eh, I haven't read "The Pearl" by Steinback, but his visionary use of words must be a turn off for you, huh?

Surprisingly, I didn't like the book "Slaughterhouse Five" by Vonnegut due to the unreliable narrator and the 'plot' of the book. Somehow, that outweighs the pros behind its psychological themes on the human psyche for me.

The Kite Runner. How I hate that book.

>>72 This was me, btw. I stand to my opinion.

This book is absolutely disgusting. I just want to fall asleep in class when we're reading it.

It's just some pointless monologue that ends suddenly without anything good happening.

>>76 I did not know if it was because the book would most definitely come up in exam or because the story was just so miserable. Every one of my friend hated it. Lol. Probably we were all thinking, "We hate exams badly enough, give us something happier to read. After all we will be spending one darn year with the book!"

At higher level I was told that once Dickens's Bleak House was once a compulsory reading. Unabridged, mind you and you know how Dickens goes. I loved Bleak House but I don't think I would feel the same if it was for exam.

But there is also this possibility that, let us say, 'The Pearl' is not Steinbeck's best work. I have just checked Goodreads and apparently I am not the only one feeling the way I did about it. It was just unfortunate that of all books, I was introduced to Steinbeck through 'The Pearl'. Who said first impression is not important.

>>77 You read 'The Kite Runner' at school? You must be young.
Anyway, I don't like that book either. I like 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' more but it is still not among the books that I really like.

Personally, for me it would have to be 'The Boy In The Stripe Pyjamas'. Before everybody gets all up in my shit let me post my reasons. I think a lot of why it has a pretty much perfect reputation is that people are being over sensitive and feeling the need not to criticise it, whether its a conscious or sub-conscious decision is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, it has a great idea, great message and powerful ending, but that doesn't make up for everything in between. The child's knowledge varies hugely from knowing the specific type of wood a desk is made out of to not realising what a prison is, the events that were held within the books time span were extremely anti climatic due to the intense setting and characters portrayed and I just felt that although it was used to demonstrate a child's perspective, the simple writing style had me bored quite quickly. Everyone else I know seems to have loved it though so maybe it's just me being an illiterate idiot that can't comprehend the true masterful writing held within its pages.

Am I the only one here who likes Dicken's "Great Expectations"? Two paragraphs about toast was awesome.

I hated to read any novels, the words shifted all over the place. But, I wrote poetry because of my social life was rough there. The Great Gatsby was the worst.

reminds me of naruto

reminds me of naruto

Hey Josh, I respectfully disagree with you, although it was a required activity in my English class, I very much enjoyed the Novel, and all the characters. Except what's her face who got ran over...I really laughed when I found that out.

But answering your thread, the most boring book I ever had to read in school was Lord of the Flies, hands down.

Worst book I've had to read would probably be Into The Dust. It's just not my type.

Mine was The Swiss Family Robinson by JOHANN DAVID WYSS.

Damn it's so boring.

Actually, most of the books I've read in high school were suprisingly good, or at least thought-provoking. I'm an English buff, I suppose.

Right now, I'm thinking the most boring book I've had to read was One Writer's Beginnings by Eudora Welty. It's a memoir. Memoirs are usually OK to read if the author grew up in an interesting environment or suffered a lot through life, such as the Holocaust or a war or something, but Welty had a perfectly comfortable and happy childhood. That's good for her, but it doesn't make such an interesting book.

Freshman year, had to read House on Mango Street. BORING. AS. HELL.

mine would have to be ... the chrysalids , GGEEz i did not like that book

The Grapes of Wrath. Holy. Piss. That book takes what seems like a month to get to the story.
It describes the scenery in too much detail. Something like this, "When Jed picked up the turtle from the dry cracked mississippi road, dust crawling on the floor like fog..." That's not from the book but its something like that.

>>90 My mom made me read that book over the summer one year and write a book report on it. I wanted to kill something.

Macbeth.....or Shakespeare in general

A Brave New World, Adventures of Huckleberry Fin, Romeo And Juliet, A Mid Summer Night's Dream, in fact the only good book school has ever assigned me would have to be The Bell Jar

>>94 Much Ado About Nothing was good. Romeo and Juliet had some good jokes in it. His poems were torture, though.

I actually really enjoyed Hamlet, the characters were great; I think Titus Andronicus is my favourite though. Romeo and Juliet I found pretty damn boring, the characters just weren't likeable enough.

The bible. But that was way long ago

The Reluctant Fundamentalist. I'm not really interested in books that are told in that manner. Kinda bores me and just can't seem to concentrate on reading the book. just saying...

In year four or five, I had to read a book called Hatchet or something, and I don't remember what it was about but it was the more dull and boring thing ever for us. We hated it with a passion.

"The Old Man and The Sea"... I felt like it was torture to stay awake and read it..
Anyone else agree?
Or was it just me?

"How to Read Literature Like a Professor"
I swear the guy has ADD and can not help but write the way he thinks. He jumps from one idea to the next, goes through about six ideas before going back to his first one, and then he goes off on a completely new idea. It drove me nuts! I would have said that "A Separate Piece" was the worst book I had to read, but I didn't read it. Woops.

Algebra 2. we went througheverypage. yep.....

Gomorra. My Literature teacher gave us this title to be read during the holiday, but damn! So boring and badly written! It seems like reading an infinite article from the newspaper, it's not how a decent book should be written!

There was this book that i read over at my sister's apartment "philosophy made simple" but it surprisingly,i was interested and kept my boredom in check that day.

Paradise Lost.
Have to read it for AP English for the upcoming school year and I haven't made it past five pages yet. Someone, help, I'm dying.

Honoré de Balzac - Peau de Chagrin (Skin of Sorrow)

It was so boring I ended up reading 2 lines per page.

Scarlett Letter. Had to force my fingers to keep turning pages. Ugh.

Bump. Hemmingway.

Steal Across the Sky

Just kill me now quickly please

If I don't like it I don't read it (T-T)

^

I remember reading "Nothing but the Truth"..... I got what the story was telling, but I didn't really like the plot much; the plot was only caused by a small accident, so -_-

"To Kill a Mocking Bird"

Unfortunately I've always found it hard to enjoy any book that was assigned to me in school. I think it's just for the simple fact that it's difficult to enjoy anything that your are forced to treat and view as a school assignment. The only assigned book I ever really enjoyed was Catcher In The Rye.

>>114 I have a hunch thats only because you were MADE toread it. I read it ourside of school by my own choice and throughly enjoyed it.

>>116 Or because it was more somebody's vague memoires rather than an actual narrative. Although I can see how the writing style would please some people, I found it boring and repetitive. Another thing is the narrative's general flow type; 99% of books follow the set set up, complication, resolution theme because it works, it requires something special to pull something outside of that method off. Unfortunately, To Kill a Mocking Bird just wasn't quite good enough so instead it dismally fizzled into an inconclusive plot that left you just interested enough to want to read the last chapter, but not much more.

Now, originally I thought my mind had just been poisoned against it because I too read it for school. However, recently I have discovered people who read it out of school who found the exact same problems with it. To each to their own, however; some writing styles are just people specific.

>>117 The thng about To Kill A Mockingbird is you have to think about the time in which it was written . This 'fictional' character Atticus Finch defends a negro in a murder trial. Black people had very little rights at the time i which the novel is set. Im sure you know this Solace. It was a book more important and captivating for its time. Compared to some novels today it is, Ill admit, a little plain. Nothing really happens you're right, but it is still better than you make it out to be.
Concerning it being a collection memoirs (as Im on my school laptop I couldnt check everywhere) I couldn't find anything to back this up. Harper Lee herself barely wrote the novel, Truman Capote is more than likely the true author.
Inconclusive? please explain how

As you said though. Each to their own, however; some writing styles are people specific.

Each generation has a specific topic or groups of topic the majority of people find controversial. This is for any time period and in which a story back then is bound to lose it's controversial tone in today's period of time due to what we have now.

Groups of topics*

my school made me read skellig and it took me ages cuz it was so boring i just couldnt be bothered :P

>>118 Granted, I'm sure it was incredibly controversial for its time. Does that make it a good book, though? Why does the movement it spearheaded make it worthy of the title of good book? If that truly is the reason why we should appreciate it, we should study the historical context rather than the book itself. We do not read books to think "wow, I'm sure this would have been impressive 50 years ago", we read books to either think "wow, this is impressive now" or "wow, this is a really good book". Another note is, the story set is a woman reflecting on her life as a child, therefore it is a memoir. Even if it is a fictional memoir, that is still its genre. By inconclusive I meant the general tangent that the story line followed, it ran back and forth between subjects. A whole bunch of mini stories with a whole lot of fairly one dimensional characters and a whole lot of anti climactic endings does not make for a good read. Books like Animal Farm and 1984 manage to be both impressive for their time and good. It is not restricted to one or the other. A lot of books have been considered extremely controversial when released, why To Kill A Mockingbird has been targeted and idolized, I do not know.

>>122 You're being a little biast to your opinion and over reacting to the statement "It was controversial for its time". We do study historical texts in school, and most schools study this novel in a seperate class to History. They both have different ways of retelling and educating people about the past. I personally gained more educational value from reading this than say, placing a historical, factual text in front of me. Everyone learns/takes information in in a different way (Yep that sentence sucked).
It isnt necessarily known as a 'brilliant book' (although it is often referred to as a classic) but an 'important book', yes, because of the 'movement' it spearheaded. Just think about books like 'The Catcher In The Rye' and 'Lord Of The Flies', they also 'spearheaded' and helped literature move forward. A huge part of their fame/sucsess has come from the controversy and general publics shocked reaction at the time. Portraying racism, violence, an anti-hero attitude, sexual themes and using profanities at the time they were written was unheard of. People find themselves over curious when negative comments are said about anything they have no first hand knowledge of. They find themselves wanting to know more and in this situation, read the book.
All clear about the memoir section.
It does feel like a bunch of mini stories, but I personally enjoyed reading about the Boo Radley saga and the time spent with Dill, all leading up to the trial and death of ****** at the end. It can at times be hard to relate to a young girl as a male, I know this to be true and I have a hunch you may feel the same without realising it yet.
It shouldnt be too widely reccognised as a 'classic'. It isnt as enjoyable as people make it out to be, ut imao, still worth the read.
Aside from any points, a book doesn't have to be an amazing piece of literature for an individual to take a liking to it. It just has to appeal to the reader. If you dont like the book, thats okay.

>>123 Please tell me, what interesting, vital tit-bits did you learn about that time period through the book? It displayed the prominent racist culture in the 1930's and not much else. If you didn't already know that there was a heavy racist influence on middle class, American society during that time period, you probably have quite a few more important things you need to be learning first. In fact, it kind of brushes over the area of racial politics. Mostly it is about the internal struggle of the protagonist's seemingly idealistic life falling apart with the influence of new, outside influences and fading naivety. Certainly, the theme of racism is used as a by-product to illustrate those occurrences, it is never the major theme, however.
All the books you mentioned as examples were done in an extremely superior manner when compared to 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. To compare 'Lord of the Flies' to it is just silly, they are in completely different leagues. Also, not really sure what you meant in regard to moving literature forwards. 'Lord of the Flies' is so incredibly famous because it's recognised to be a classic book with a good idea and great writing style (all qualities which 'To Kill A Mockingbird' lacks), not because it spearheaded any movements.
I am mainly impressed that you enjoyed reading about the time spend with Dill, to me he was just an annoying little twat with some fairly undisclosed family issues. He never shows himself to have more loveable charm than any other mildly intelligent 10 year old out there. Also, gender specificities are not really an issue at the age of 10, it wasn't that we simply can't 'relate' to the protagonist because she's a female. We can't relate because there is nothing that we could relate to about her. If that is one of the saving qualities of the novel you are dredging up, then it shows the dire situation of the book. It's a book about American country society in The Great Depression, if we could relate to that I would be worried.
Anyway, I think we have passed the line of 'it's all down to opinions', now. Despite individual appeal, there is still a generalised base set of qualities that can be used to define the overall deserved recognition of the novel. We have now both presented our points on either side of it, it is no longer individual. This was now about the universal appeal of the novel, rather than the relative appeal.

Probably a few grammar mistakes in there but cannot be fucked to go back through and edit them out right now.

Let me just say this. No matter how badly you want to force your opinion as a fact about how BAD this book is to you, it's just that. An opinion. It's FACTUAL to say that even if other books were better, it still helped push literature through the ages. Argue all you want but you're seeming to be a bias nutfuck here just because you don't like it.

Now while this IS about what you find boring, you're a try-hard, trying so badly to make it sound like you're right in a war against opinions for the most part.

Books like this are for entertainment purposes, and entertainment holds no factual basis when it's based on the popular opinions and not much else. That is why Bulma is fighting with you anyway.

>>124 I didnt actually know alot about Afro-American culture going into this book as you know I lack the enthusiasm you have to lear about history. So I learnt a few things about how they were treated, how they lived etc
Been a long two or three weeks not argueing with you Solace ahahahah
>>125 Thank you for defending me but I agree with some of Solaces points (It didnt really follow a great structure (Although novels dont need one it helps) and it does tend to be a little dull at points). He wasn't being a 'try-hard' in my eyes. We know each other irl and tend to argue alot. He was just presenting his brutally honest and yes, a little bias and pessimistic opinion with a fierce passion for debate.

>>125 I'm not sure if you understand the concept of debates. When two people begin an argument, they each present their opinion and points in an attempt to persuade and convince the others. These are often useful for improving your own opinions or building new ones. Just pointing out too that you are the first person to resort to swearing, showing that your idea of what is going on here is quite different from ours. If you still don't understand the concept of a peaceful debate, I'd be happy to elaborate further for you.

>>126 It certainly has been a while, other people just aren't the same. The living conditions of African-American's varied from state to state back then, so be sure not to make it a general consensus on how they all lived. I think (maybe?) my original point was that this book shouldn't be on the English required reading curriculum, and I still say that. If people are interesting in that kind of book, idea and writing style, they will be capable to seek it out individually. Instead of that, it just poisonousness a whole lot more people that didn't need to be against literature.

'' Define normal''
I guess it just was not my thing.I mean ...just did not really resonate with me but it was an interesting from both perspectives.

the giver was good at first but reading it again is agony

I'd definitely have to go with The Awakening by Kate Chopin

The golden city

>>130 I didn't even bother. I just read spark notes.

Great Expectations

To Kill a Mockingbird.

In my opinion, one of the worst books ever written.
It's zero fun and duller than a 42 year old Swiss army knife.

untile now evrething i read in school was dam boring but most boring thin was all the poetry i read...

Can I bring this back up please?

To Kill a Mockingbird. I didn't finish it, but I made it as far as I did because of one character.

The Cay wasn't terribly bad, and deserted island settings are cool.

I couldn't get through Fahrenheit 451, and Marigolds made me irritated. Hated the main character.

The Call of the Wild was okay, I guess. I wasn't terribly bored.

Couldn't get through Romeo and Juliet, but I enjoyed Much Ado About Nothing.

`Read Of Mice and Men recently, and loved it.

I find I'm lucky......I don't remember a single time where something was boring.....most likely I just didn't read it

The bible.

Thunderstruck. I think that was the name. Anyways, each chapter kept going back and forth I didn't get it anymore. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the teacher was reading it, but honestly, I knew it would be confusing the moment I saw that it had 650(?) pages (yeah I'm in yr7 meaning my first year in middle school so I'm young enough to be scared of books with 400+ pages).

Farewell to Manzanar. It was miserable.

Most boring would have to be Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I just couldn't get into it. I never understood what was happening in the story and still don't to this day. Honorable mention goes to The Scarlet Letter though. It was all sorts of awful.

A tree grows in Brooklyn

For me it was Quiet: The Secret Power of Introverts
Mostly because it was irritating to hear the author bash so much on extroverts even though I'm an introvert too

Stargirl nobody in my class knew what was happening, and it made me really uncomfortable for some reason. When you don't understand a book you tend to dislike it.

Hunger Games, the theme was literally just "media desentization is bad"
