Worst required reading book?

[QUOTE="cornlockes"][QUOTE="quiglythegreat"][QUOTE="cornlockes"]

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

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.

No. I really didn't like animal farm. I was thinking of reading the Da Vinci Code though

[QUOTE="CrimzonTide"]Romeo and Juliet by far.PickGlove243

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

King Lear is also fantastic.

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

I hated A Tale Of Two Cities....... old english = hard to comprehendSmoke89

What? I don't think it was old English. Old English, to me, reminds me of the 1500-1700 and Shakespeares style of writing.

In technicality on a timeline it is "modern english", but the original book has very odd grammer, spelling, words and stuff so I just call it old becasue its not what we use today.

i f**king hate The Great Gatsby with all of my heart. :)chrisrooR

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?

LOLhahaDEAD

The Giver and most stories in my english textbook. I actually kinda liked To Kill a Mockingbird except the essay I have to right about it.hokey-pokey18

It could be a complex love story? I haven't read it in awhile but I think the way Fitzgerald captured that era was amazing. Most of the characters were horrible people but those characters gave the book more power.

catcher in the rye was the most pointless and dull book I have ever read, Nothing interesting happened throughout the whole book.Film-Guy

Worst-Where the Red Fern Grows - a sappy, saccharine piece of crap.

Best-The Lords of Discipline - now this is a real book.

Give a more in-depth analysis... I personally think the novel holds it's own. If you remember or are going through the experience of what is like to be a young man then you should be able to relate to the book.

It was ok, but to me I was not really enjoying it cause of its oddness. Especially when he was washing old people. I also didn't likeall the study guide questions that came with it.

No, I'm obviously not. He gave a very broad explanation of the era and I think most will agree with me. Plus, if you are even remotely familiar with the history of the Jazz Era then you may understand. Also, if you're going to start mocking people you might want to do a better job.

[QUOTE="GrandMasta69"]the hatchet was probably one of the coolest books i was required to read. and so was the outsiders...but i hated to kill a mocking bird and rolling thunder hear my cry...it was awful boringcornlockes

I may be wrong but doesn't hatchet have to do with airplanes or something

no, a kid was on a plane and the pilot had a heart attack and died and the plane crashed on an island and the kid has to try and survive in the wilderness with just his hatchet

Well in no way was I originally trying to mock you so don't be so sensitive. Secondly the account of the Jazz Age and Fitzgerald's novels may line up so well because our current perception because it is partly derived from his novels...I'm sure you can see where I am going here...We always have an imperfect picture.

Same here. I actually read it before we had to read it for school.

Although I didn't like Messenger, the sequel, as much, I was glad it cleared a few things up.

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.

Keep reading of Mice and Men because that is a great book. The worst I had to read was A Tale of Two Cities... I read like one page of that book and I had enough.

Beowulf wasn't too bad, nor Of Mice and Men. I thought the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickins sucked. Wanted to kill myself with every word I had to read. :(
