Oh my god. THE VANDERMARK MUMMY! What A piece of shit book.
Here is a summary of a chapter.
"Oh no, my sister has been kidnapped! Hey she likes the museum! Maybe she is their!

Hey I found her! Turns out I didn't look hard enough in one room. What a relief!"
WHAT!!??
On the upside, I had to read Flowers for Algernon way later in my school career. THAT is how you do a class novel.

The secret lives of Sergent John Wilson.
Interesting at first, boring the second time I read it, nauseating the fourth time I read it. A book I would read only once but I needed to read it many times to answer the many questions our teacher had for us.
I now hate the book.

Agreed, although that wasn't for school, strictly speaking, but for an intro Humanities course in college with a professor who had something against materialism and "dangerous advances in science." I wanted to strangle the bastard, but I got an A for idiotically repeating his points on essays...AjimboB said:
In school, it would have to be Peace Like a River by Leif Enger in 11th grade English. Think of it as 250proof christian propaganda. How this was even allowed in a public school is beyond me...
Washington Square by Henry James (year 12)
This is how bad and brain-crushingly dull the novel is: "In fact, James was not enthusiastic about Washington Square itself. He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907?09) but found that he could not" (quote from Wikipedia) See?? Even James himself couldn't get through that hellhound of a book! And I had to read it TWICE!

I honestly was mature about reading the books we were required to throughout school. None of them were terrible but some of them were boring as fuck.
I'd say the biggest over hyped piece of shit I had to read three times in my life would be Romeo and Juliet. It's the worst Shakespeare play (in my opinion). I have all his work in a giant, super well made book. I don't like this story. Sucks ass.

Aside from the whole quest for enlightenment, and microcosm of human existence, yes? It's one of the best books ever written, but maybe you didn't take your time with it...-=Spy=- said:
I did not like the Adventures of Huckleberry Fin. This was the only book I was assigned to read in High School that I didn't finish. I don't think there was one kid in my school who actually did like it.
11th grade, "The Great Gatsby". I tried the first three chapters and nearly bored myself to tears. I said it wasn't worth me hating reading for the rest of my life for one book, so I stopped reading it and failed every test on it. Spent my time in class just doing homework for other classes or sleeping instead. Seemed like a better way to use my time instead of reading that paperback sleeping pill.
