Ew!!!! I HATE! Brave New World! Every time it was time to read, I nearly threw the book at the teacher!
I'd say the worst was Many Stones. The main characters reactions just seemed too fake, & the ending seemed like the author had given up on the book & just wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
My fave would have to be To Kill a Mockingbird. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me the more we read it. Ooh, & I lurve Ender's Game. We read the first one in my sophomore year, & now I'm trying to buy the whole series before I start reading the rest of them.
Another series that I really love is A Child Called "It". The first book is terrifying, & I cried the whole time we read it, but the 2nd & third ones are sort of the pick me up books, & it's basically an autobiography of the author's life, & it's amazing that he went through so much as a child & still turned out to be a fine, well-functioning adult, not to mention parent.

I hate reading any book by Shakespeare because I'm the only one who can understand what people are saying.
I liked Ender's Game and To Kill a Mockingbird.
oh, I also dislike The Adventures of Huck Finn.
The author killed the ending.

I've had to read Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman, Holes by Louis Sachar, Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French, Tomorrow When The War Began by John Marsden, The Dragon in the Gardne but i can't remember who by and The Ghost's Child by Sonya Hartnett but next year i do To Kill A Micking Bird for one of my classes which'll be good

Wow, my school's english program must totally suck compared to all y'all's . . . I've only ever heard of some of these books. O well!
My top three favorite books I've had to read for school:
[1] Brave New World (I'd love to debate pro's and con's with everybody on that one ^.^ )
[2] The Handmaid's Tale
[3] A Little Princess (grade five reading material, but it's still one of my favorites)
Worst? Flat-out, bar none Alice, I Think by Susan Juby. It was a well-written book, I must admit, but the storyline wasn't very well thought-out and the overall tone of the book made it seem like the authoress wasn't really into it.

One of my absolute favorite was A Tale of Two Cities. It was difficult reading (I was a sophomore at the time) but I really loved the story. I actually really liked Of Mice and Men too. The ending made it for me. Though I still don't understand why we read it in 11th grade. Freshman year, I can understand, but not junior.
For an assignment we had to pick an American novel and I chose Catch-22, which I can say is probably one of my favorite books period. I did the project while I was still halfway through the book, and decided to read the rest for the heck of it.
I hated Huck Finn (well, I didn't hate it, but I still had a problem with reading it junior year), Bless Me Ultima, and Nectar in a Sieve.
I just hated English class last year. I bought Les Miserables the novel just to spite my teacher because apparently she doesn't like reading. I mean, really?? How are you teaching English?! Honestly mad

I think my two favorites I read for school would be Catcher in the Rye and The Alchemist.
I never hated any(its hard for me to hate books stare )But I do hate textbooks 90% of the time.

I LOVE reading Paradise Lost and Beowulf
I HATED Great Expectations. I couldn't finish it. It was the most painful read I have ever experienced!
