Catch 22
To be fair we were allowed to choose our texts for that unit. The only time I've ever enjoyed doing anything gor an English class. I hate english. I also hate Shakespeare but I am unsure whether this is a result of poor writing or the English faculty making us over-analyse every second freaking word.

Enders Game and Alas Babylon. I really loved both of these. Great expectations was not terrible either. Other good ones include; The Odyssey, The Crucible, Macbeth, Swallowing Stones, Antigone, J.Ceasar,Grendel,Beowulf, Of Mice and Men,and The Illiad.
Despite my English teachers' goal of only assigning depressing reading, there have been a couple things I liked. 1984 was very compelling; Romeo and Juliet was kind of fun. THe Old man and the Sea was dreck, I'm not going out on too long a limb when I say I could have written a more evocative and compelling story. Things Fall Apart was interesting until the unexpected downer ending.
Fight club, lord of the flies, animal farm, and enders game. But I actually do like reading books and my school curriculum has a lot of projects where you just choose a book.
Frankenstein- I saw alot of myself in Victor in the way that he ends up being the cause of his own destruction, I had done something simliar myself at the time.
Othello- Iago is awesome, I took a couple of his manipulative tactics to heart which served me quite well recently.

Well, so far Artemis Fowl I found quite enjoyable. As well as Of Mice And Men (let it be noted that i skipped the first chapter of uselessness and the first paragraph of every chapter), as well as Farenheight459...and ya that's about it!
