Worst required reading book?

So far, I've had to read Beowulf, the Puppet Master, Deathwatch, the Giver, and Of Mice and Men.

The worst is probably Of Mice and Men, but I can't be too sure because we're not all that far into it. It doesn't seem all that great, though.

What's the worst book you were required to read?

Last year I had to read animal farm. That was god damn boring

I liked Of Mice and Men, my teacher read it out loud once, and had a really funny voice for lennie.

but i would say The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Of Mice and Men was amazing... but I hated the Great Gatsby.

I had to read Generation X and I didnt really like it compared to Lord of the Flies, Shakespear lits, To kill a mocking bird, brave new world

of all the cliche books we had to read in HS i would say to kill a mockingbird was the worst, i dont know why but i could not stand it, about 100 pages in i had enough and sparknotes got me through the restg-unit248

Yeah.I had to read that last year too. Lord of the flies was meh

Of Mice and Men is great.

The book i'm reading now in schools is The Crucible... EVERYONE IN THAT PLAY ARE ****ING RETARDS

By far to kill a mocking bird is the worst...followed by lord of the flies

Hatchet.

definitley lord of the flies, that book is terriblesens_rocks_40

The movie was kinda good IMO.

"The Bridge over San Luis Ray"

Worst: Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation

Best: Secret Life Of The Bees, To Kill A Mockingbird, True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.

Those are all low-level books, though.

No it was boring. It was a dumb idea to begin with anyway.

The Scarlet Letter, only because it is boring. >__> IMO, at least.

Just watch the movie and go on wikipedia to see the differences between both. I have to do a report on it for tomorrow.

Yawn. I understand you, but putting in random large words doesn't make you seem any more credible

I didn't enjoy the Scarlet Pimpernel because it was basically another rip-off of Wealthy and Rapacious men and women with a unique twist. However, I thoroughly enjoyed Of Mice and Men, Animal Farm, and some others mentioned here. But I first read those about 15 years ago.

Actually the worst book ever written which I had to read was A Seperate Peace... That book has not aged well. It's considered a classic but it's incredibly irritating.

P.S. Great Gatsby and Catcher and the Rye pwn.

I pretty much fail to understand how anybody can hate Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies or Of Mice and Men. Unless you just plain hate reading.Chevolutionary

Oh. I was thinking about something else. I think I meant to put something like ".....It doesn't make you right" Whatever. I don't like reading in general and we have different opinions and lets leave it at that.

Romeo and Juliet by far.CrimzonTide

Yes, very boring story. Julius Ceaser, however, is very good.
