Books, authors, and reading.

[gamemaster1991]

Of Mice and Men is a fantastic book, as sad as it is. School reading doesn't always suck. People just go into it thinking "it's for school, so it must suck". Make that decision for yourself when you're done :) Also, check out banned books such as "Catcher in the Rye" which is one of my all time favorites.

The only book I read for school that I hate for real is "To Kill A Mockingbird." I know it's classic and I should really enjoy it but it's dull and I can't even get though the second chapter. The only reason I know what went on in the book was because my teacher summarized it after each chapter. The same thing happened when I tried to watch "Casablanca." They are both dull and I really can't get though ether one.

Ah man, I love ! [Fun fact: I was almost named Scout]. One we had to read that I couldn't stand was The Great Gatsby. We even watched the original movie in class and I hated that too.

The Great Gatsby is one of those books that I did not like but only because I had to read it. I can actually tell you more of what happened in that book than To Kill A Mockingbird. Most of what I know of the latter is from the movie (which is a great movie) and I can't tell you what they changed. I think the books are dull due to the time period they were written in.
