Maybe I'm weird for saying this but I actually enjoyed a lot of the stuff I had to read for school. Except Wuthering Heights. That was crap.

my favorite from school was A Tale of Two Cities.

Mine was Flowers for Algernon. I had to read it twice for different schools. Anyone see the movie "Charly"? So awesome.

You should see the film version, The innocents, it's brilliant, captures the eerie mood but you don't have to wade through Victorian English!

No one else got to read 1984 during school?

Nope :(

Though I read it on my own accord during high school. All of our assigned books were shit.

I got to read To Kill A Mockingbird last year for school. Reading A View From The Bridge in class atm.

Love them both SO much so far. As much to say that so far they're both 5 stars in my book.

Ursula K. Le Guin—The Lathe of Heaven
Never read anything by her before but I've been on a big sci-fi kick lately and this is supposed to be a good book. I guess we'll see.

I'm back to Jeeves and Wooster currently. Need my monthly soul enhancement and there's no better man/character than Jeeves for it!!!

Hmm that sucks. I was relatively happy with my reading list in school. Off the top of my head, 1984, Animal Farm, All Quiet on the Western Front, Wake In Fright, Richard III. Only one I remember hating was Fly Away Peter and having to analyse 8 Mile. Ended up wrting my final year essay on 1984 and A Clockwork Orange and their use of fictional language and it's impact on the reader or something or other.
