What assigned reading books did you actually love?

[(Anonymous)]

Which did you hate?

I loved The Good Earth. The ending gave me chills. I also really enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird, 1984, and A Brave New World (but I think most people do).

I HATED anything by Charles Dickens or Shakespeare.

Oh my god, I hated a Brave New World. Blech.

That said, beyond that and To Kill a Mockingbird, and Catcher in the Rye because it was so fucking terrible, nothing that was assigned reading material apparently left any impression on me because I really have NO idea what I read in school.

I've never actually read Catcher in the Rye!

I should probably clarify that it wasn't terrible in the sense that the writing was bad, but because I just wanted to chuck Holden out the window and it was just so... teenage angsty which is an automatic no from me.

Honestly, I liked most of my assigned reading. Probably my two favorites were A Tale of Two Cities and Heart of Darkness.

I hate Ethan Frome. Married guy falls in love with shallow little airhead. They spend the entire book doing nothing about it but pissing and moaning and the closest you have to a sexy scene is them washing dishes. They then decide to do the dumbest thing possible, commit suicide and to do it in the dumbest way possible, ride a sled down a hill and deliberately hit a tree. They wind up paralyzed for life and his wife (who we're supposed to hate, I think, but she's the only one I felt sorry for) gets stuck with caring for them for the rest of their lives.
I loved most of the other assigned books.

I loved Their Eyes Were Watching God and Jane Eyre. I hated Wuthering Heights and The Great Gatsby.

I really liked To Kill A Mockingbird.

Owls Do Cry, which was written shortly after the author was released from a mental institution (two weeks before her brains got stirred around with a needle), and is all about how you might be kinda happy as a kid, but as you get older it's all Doom and Disaster or, if you're lucky, only Quiet Despair... now that is a horrible thing to inflict on a nervy 17-year-old.
