Animal Farm and 1984 are great books.

(Saying this because you will most likely end up reading 1984.)

Dracula was my least favorite book.
Hate the way the story is told through journals.

I honestly couldnt get into either of the books, maybe it was because I had to read them in 9th grade..? Hmm, I might just try reading it again. I didn't like All Quiet on the Western Front..I also had to read it for school in 10th grade..I'm starting to sense a pattern here.

In high school I read A Separate Peace, and My Antonia. Those are the two most worthless books.

I hated reading these books, and I love reading, even books I'm forced to read, but these just didn't sit well, I hated the tasks I had to do afterward concerning the books too

I HAD to read Stephen Kings' IT. Due to the hype and publicity of its launch but was very disheartned. The only part I did enjoy was his graphical horror of when the little boy put his hand down the strom drain, but the rest was soooooooooo lame..A discredit to yourself Mr King

I had to read The Great Gatsby like three times in high school and I hated it every time! The characters are so annoying! The only way that book could redeem itself is if the author randomly drops a nuke on their stupid asses. I know that nukes didn't exist at the time the book takes place, but he could have added some kind of time travelling twist.

Love in the Time of Cholera. I hated it. It was disgusting!

I love reading all times of books, but I couldn't figure out why such a book was so popular and stood the test of time.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Wolf.

I can appreciate the genius of her style and intent, but it drove me insane. Reading it was painful.

Me too! And Lord of the Rings. People hail it as a literary classic and I thought it was perfectly crap. Kudos to the movies though

Thats possibly one of the truest book to movie adaptations i have ever seen! I LOVED the books.

I think the only book i truly hated was Great Gatsby.

Dracula is one of my all time favourites, and well as A Christmas Carol. I was so pleased when my teacher pulled them out for us to read!
