Best book you read in school

[Worgen]

saw the worst topic and had to counter it since I cant remember any books I read in school aside from one I liked, it was called the rule of names, I remember it being cool, it had a dragon in it

 

[Marter]

I quite liked "To Kill a Mockingbird".

 

[Dxz5roxg]

I thought The Odyssey was pretty good.

 

[Rasputin1]

I don't think I have ever read a book in school I considered good.. They were all mostly drivel.

 

[LongAndShort]

I really enjoyed 'In the Skin of a Lion' One of the most intricate, intimate and generally best books I've read.

"The Giver" is a true classic. Though I think my favourite is "We" by Yevgeni Zamyatin.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I liked of mice and men and Romeo and Juliet

 

[Cody211282]

Animal Farm and 1984 were rather awesome.

 

[Frankydee]

Best one I read was in my senior year of high school when I had to read "Man's Search for Meaning" for an English class.

Although it was a bit odd reading a psychology book for an English course.

 

[Yureina]

Hamlet.

 

[Aesir23]

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Finished it before anyone else, read through it twice and then went out to buy my own copy after I had to give it back.

By the way OP, your avatar is awesome. That scene from the Road to El Dorado never fails to make me laugh.

Animal Farm or The Great Gatsby. Maybe Macbeth.

 

[Kwaren]

"The Giver" is a true classic. Though I think my favourite is "We" by Yevgeni Zamyatin.

The Giver made me sad and a bit disturbed when I was made to read it in 5th grade.

OT: I read all of Tamora Peirce's books in Jr. High.

I had an English professor who was a huge Harlan Ellison fan which is where my becoming a fan started so the first book read for class was Angry Candy. My favorite Ellison is probably Deathbird Stories though.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz. I really enjoy reading most of his books.

 

[Worgen]

oh, I just thought of another I liked, altho this was for college so Im not sure if that really counts as school or not, it was called the "yellow room" it had a very lovecraftian feel to it

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Animal Farm and 1984 were rather awesome.

This. I read both voluntarily in 7th grade, and then "had" to read them again in 11th, which I was more than happy to do. Great reads.

 

[DividedUnity]

Macbeth was quite a good book. Of Mice and Men as well.

 

[Giest4life]

Medea. I read it in school, technically, but school really had nothing to do with it.

 

[Slenn]

Holes was alright. However I really liked "I Robot" and "War of the Worlds." Dante's "Inferno" I also liked as well.
