I think you're right about not liking books that you were forced to read and analyze in school. I still can't read Dickens or Hemmingway because they were forced down my throat too much in school. It doesn't help that a lot of schools make it so that the teachers have to get through a good amount of books/short-stories in a short amount of time so there isn't a lot of time for some of the students to really get into the books.

Yeah, daughter of an English teacher. Serious feelings, I have them :D

I still resent Steinbeck a little bit because of school- I worked up a grudging fondness after my best friend convinced me to read Cannery Row, but I will never not loathe Of Mice And Men.

What's weird is, half the time the curriculum is forcing the teachers to assign three hundred page books in about a month, and the rest of the time there's not enough on the curriculum so the teachers end up having to stretch short books out over ridiculously long periods of time. I got such whiplash year to year, particularly when I started taking AP classes. Junior year I swear we only read three books (I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, Frankenstein, and Equus), then senior year we had to fit so much in I just gave up on actually finishing all of them.

Oh Steinbeck. I actually was good with Of Mice and Men, but I could not stand Grapes of Wrath. I gave up reading it about half way through. My mother was one of my AP teachers and I did end up not finishing Great Expectations for her. I had listened to her talk about it enough though so she didn't know I didn't actually read it till years later.
