I don't think anyone (but me) liked that book in my class :C

Most people didn't in my class. They all said they liked the Alchemist which I... really disliked. XD;

Most people just hated Wyndham's book for the incest at the end or whatever it was--I think the protagonist fell in love with his second cousin or something? *shrug*

Oh god the Alchemist. That book just dragged on and on.

Although...I think Alchemist was the year before :\
 
Lots of different books do give out different points. I don't really mind if a book does have incest because I know I wont be influenced in any way by it. I just mainly focus on the storyline as that's way more exciting than sexual relationships with your family.

I agree. Honestly, the book was so interesting and yet no one would read it on their own and then when it got to the point where you start noticing mutual feelings between the cousins or whatever, everyone just went "Ewwww" and refused to consider the rest of the book. ffffffff.

It might've been but people still raved about it for years for me. :( Like it was the only book they read in the last decade so it had to be talked about all the time. Ugh.

Everyone in my class went "ewww" when Hamlet kissed his mom.

The worst thing about this is that it happens in real life. I've actually witnessed my best friend's sister and her cousin fallling in love and running away.
 
The Chrysalids was an okay book, I think what bothered me the most were those tiny books with the tiny font that they gave us.
I don't remember what happened in the Alchemist.

I usually tend to hate any book we had to read for school.
 
The worst book I have ever read was Cry the Beloved Country. Horrible. Just so bland. Didn't help since half the book was in Afrikaans an Zulu..

The best I have read was Anthem. It is really good, I would like to think they made a new society after the book ended. : 3

I enjoyed a few of the books we had to read in school. Better selection than what we had to read in elementary school.
 
I remember you used to get highest marks for finishing Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in Primary School.
 
Worst book I ever read for school was "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. Mind you, that's probably because it's supposed to be a deep and (presumably?) confusing book in English, let alone the native French. No one in the class understood it at all. :(

I liked a few of the things we did in HS but most of it I absolutely couldn't stand. Elementary school books were much better--though now that I think of it, the only class novel I ever read was Holes and I love Sachar's books... otherwise any novel reports and the like were done on books of my own choosing.
 
The movie was still a few years away back when I read the book. I think I read it in grade 7. My teacher couldn't stand me because whenever she'd call on me to read aloud, I'd have no idea where the class was because I was too busy reading ahead.

*did that with every. single. book. her classes ever read together* By high school the teachers didn't mind as much since at least I was reading the book which was more than could be said for almost everyone else. XD;

hah, i always did that too. it was knd of embarressing, since pl though i wasnt reading, when i was actually just ahead x3

ya, i remebering reading and watching that. Holes. =3
 
Thats the same question i was going to ask. But i really like that movie, its on every once and a while on disney channel or abc family.
Now to books, i have never read holes, i want to read it though. The worst boook i read is pretty much all of them, the only books i like are dragons, girls club books, and other stuff. I have read only 1 book from school. (cause im home school) It was something that involved dolphins...sorry but i dont remember, but it was ok, it was kinda boring but, ya.

Anyways, good morning.



EDIT: great i killed everyone...i hate that.
 
All the books we had to read in the later years of elementary books were about girls growing up. Usually with a chapter or two devoted to the first period experience.

The other class always had much more interesting books.
