Best book you read in school

[Julianking93]

As I said in the previous thread, all books I ever had to read in school were awful.

Not a one was in any way good. They were all just biased text books and filled with overly religious subtexts.

 

[nick n stuff]

the big sleep by raymond chandler. good book esp. for its time

 

[Nick of Blades]

Weird tales by H.P. Lovecraft.

 

[Chester41585]

I read Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.

 

[micky]

i liked of mice and men alot.

 

[Pariah87]

Cujo, I read it over several lunchtimes in the library.

 

[Lonan]

Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, The Hobbit, My Side of the Mountain, The Outsiders, and Into Thin Air. I also liked MacBeth and Othello. My favourite book I ever read in school (it was highly recommended, not mandatory)
Was Animal Farm. A perfect take on humanity.

 

[Enigmers]

1984 and Fahrenheit 451 were pretty good.

 

[Aux]

Animal Farm or the Hobbit.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Of Mice and Men and To Kill A Mockingbird are two of the best. Animal Farm was really good as well.

I read House of Leaves on my own during school to do a report on it. That was... That was an experience, to say the least.

 

[Blackadder51]

Romeo and Juliet i liked

However i loved "Romeo + Juliet" that we had to watch and "Run Lola Run"

Yes i know there movies but its the same thing, sorta

My favorite was probably A Separate Peace. I just really felt the setting, and the characters were really well constructed. I kind of liked Dante's Inferno and The Count of Monte Cristo too.

 

[GnomeThief]

Of Mice and Men and Fahrenheit 451 were both okay.

I also enjoyed The Giver when it was read to us in elementary school, but for whatever reason the teacher stopped reading it about halfway through so I never got to find out how it ended.

 

[Baralak]

Of the ones I was required to read? Beowulf, The Odyssey, Macbeth, and Animal Farm

I read a bunch of fantasy novels, too. I love me some R.A. Salvatore.

 

[Gilhelmi]

"The Giver", "Fahrenheit 451", "The Holy Bible" (you never said 'only public school')
So many good books so little time.

 

[NickIsCool]

Fahrenheit 451 was by far my favorite

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Watership Down
It was on a list of books we had to choose in grade 11 Honors English to do a project on, and god-damn am I thankful I picked it. A fantastic read, to say the very least.

I also enjoyed The Giver, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Romeo & Juliet when I had to read them in class.

 

[TheLaofKazi]

I quite liked "To Kill a Mockingbird".

Same here.

username says it all.
Wuthering Heights was the most fun i've had with books since I binge read the Lord of the Rings.
