I liked Harry Potter, Frankenstein, Great Expectations, Animal Farm, Sideways Stories from Wayside School and To Kill a Mockingbird.

I HATED Pride and Prejudice. It was the most boring God awful PoS I have ever read.

That's one of the worst books I ever read

Of Mice and Men

Loved that book.

Crucible was pretty good if a bit sad. And The Giver was also really good. Only ones I absolutely hate were Romeo and Juliet, and The Glass Castle, which was so shit I stopped reading it and got a bad grade on some test.

My favorite I read in high school was Woman of the Pharisees.

I really wanted to become a famous director and make an adaptation and cast Emma Watson in the lead role.

We read a story about a girl lost in a swamp or something....and it followed her love of a baseball player? I don't remember it now but it was enjoyable at the time.

That sounds like the Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King

I actually loved Jane Eyre, after the initial struggle through the first few chapters. Of the 23 books I was forced to read in my AP Literature class, I really enjoyed most of them.

Novels like Ethan Frome, Time Machine, 1984, and Snow Falling on Cedars were especially memorable.

I absolutely HATED Brave New World and The Scarlet Letter, though.

Greek plays and the like werent my thing.

Lord of the Flies. If you dont like that book Im just gonna assume you only read the Cliff Notes.
