After Catch-22, I read Beloved by Toni Morrison and then The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I could care less about Beloved; I read through it.... stopped about fifty pages before the end. I couldn't stand it. Poisonwood Bible was pretty brilliant though. Definitely one of my favorites out of the books I've had to read for school.

Uh. No. Not my cup of tea. Spark Notes did a fine job of helping me out with Hamlet. I don't need to watch an OVA of some show to connect to Shakespeare.

Oh, no... more like the Kuroshitsuji Special does a spoof on "Hamlet". I think ShadowSakura was trying to alleviate your pain. 😀

The last book I had to read for school was The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe.
Wow that book was so boring. I thought that one day was enough to read it so I started on the last day. I read 20 pages and I had to stop because it was utterly uninteresting. So I searched for an audiobook hoping that it would be better. Listened to it for half an hour and had to stop. Same reason. So I read a summary with about 11 pages. Book<1 hour nice
Next day in the german lesson the teacher asked us questions about the plot and who would have thought we watched the movie The Sorrows of Young Werther. Perfect after a boring book we get to watch a boring movie.
After the movie the teacher had a really glorious idea.We had to compare the protagonist Werther of the movie with the Werther of the book in an argument. Superb after a boring book and a boring movie we get to write an annoying argument.

Next week we have to read Faust which will probably be better.

House of the Spirits, meh
Thérèse Raquin never believed in actual purpose for a second, blegh
Obaasan, blegh
Hamlet, liked, given that we saw 2 live productions of it
The Man and the Sea? felt really dragged out, blegh
Cyrano de Bergerac, meh
All Quiet on the Western Front, liked
Things Fall Apart, liked
A Tale of Two Cities, blegh

Bump!

I am kind of shocked at the amount of stuff most schools give out to read. Although I have read most of the stuff mentioned here, it was out of choice rather than for school. We are supposed to read only one novel per grade. They are pretty light, and quite often abridged. This is probably because we focus on communicative English. No need of Shakespeare for that.

Here's what I remember -
The Hound of Baskervilles - 12th grade
The Canterville Ghost - 11th grade
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - 7th grade
Thousand and One Nights - 3rd grade (?)
Night of the Leopard - 5th grade
Treasure Island - 8th grade

Lame in comparision to other lists. That's India for you 😛

Books I enjoyed:
1984 (grade 11)
Lord of the flies ( grade 10)
A tale of two cities (Grade 12)
Jane Eyre (Grade 12)
Hated/bored me:
All things Shakespeare
To kill a mockingbird
Any piece of French literature.

Edit: worst school related book I've read is the chrysalids.

I didn't take English Lit. till 11th, so my list may be a bit small, but here it is:

Liked:
Lord of The Flies
Wide Sargasso Sea
No Exit
Maus
Robert Browning's poems
Poems by Keats
The Godfather
Animal Farm

Neutral:
poems by Pablo Neruda
A Streetcar Named Desire
Sherlock Holmes (But this is only because we did the movies and not the books, (there were four components to the course: lit, film, poetry and plays.). And I am of the opinion that the movies don't do a very good job of portraying Holmes' character.)

Bored me to death:
Death of a Salesman
Merchant of Venice (I know, it's Shakespeare, it's a classic, but somehow this just doesn't do it for me)

If there were others, I can't remember them at the moment.

I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.

I had to read To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men. This was years back.

I did not like TKAM at first, but I re-read it a couple of years ago and I loved it.
I liked Of Mice and Men when I was at school and re-read it in one sitting a couple of years back and I still enjoyed it.

I only skimmed To Kill A Mockingbird then. I didn't like Romeo and Juliet. But I loved Pride and Prejudice, Beowulf, Little Women, The Little House series, and The Count of Monte Cristo.

Hmm, lets see if I can remember my highschool memories well.
Grade 8: Once, Hatchet
Grade 9: Mao's Last Dancer, The Outsiders
Grade 10: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Taming of the Shrew
Grade 11: The Importance of Being Earnest, The Divine Wind
Grade 12: 1984, Hamlet

I'm really glad I read 1984, I like spotting out 1984 references whenever I can haha.
I also liked Once, Mao's Last Dancer and The Importance of Being Earnest, but I can't really remember them well :-(
Overall, i'm pretty sure I would've liked a few of the other novels more if I wasn't too immature at the time. I believe I just skimmed them and never bothered to take them seriously.
