So, the “worst book you had to read for school” thread makes me sad, since there’s so many books I love in the list.

So, do people want to play with me and say their favorite book they had to read for school?

Antigone by Jean Annouilh

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Henry IV part 1.

Macbeth

Robert Browning, Men and Women

The Tempest.

Hamlet

William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying

I actually really loved Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea

bless me, ultima by rudolfo anaya

Oh my gosh someone else said old man and the seaaaaaaa

The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury

or East of Eden, John Steinbeck, I can’t choose

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

Hamlet by William Shakespeare (literally this story is HILARIOUS)

Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko. I had to read that for college. 

A Tale of Two Cities

Jane Eyre

Dang it, I was gonna say A Tale of Two Cities. Umm… well, in that case, I’ll have to go with Sister Outsider.

Really hard to pick but one was Bridge to Terabithia.

I actually liked Catcher in the Rye.

The Devine Comedy

The Crucible

or maybe A Man for All Seasons

and it’s not a book but A Rose For Emily changed my world when i was 12

The Awakening and Great Expectations

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Jane Eyre.

I was a budding nihilist by grade 11.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

Ugh… There are too many!

Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights

A Tale of Two Cities, obviously. But since that’s been said I’ll go with Death in Venice.

Doctor Faustus

Their Eyes were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. 

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee 

Those are the only books I still own from school, around 15 years later.
