Question of the Day: Which Required Reading Books Did You Love and Dislike in School?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

We all remember being in school and the teacher handing out a new book the class would be reading for the next couple of weeks. Some we enjoyed and perhaps returned to again as adults. Others, well, not so much. 

What we want to know today is Which books you were assigned in school were your most and least favorite? Which ones did you come back to again and read over as an adult for a better understanding of the material? 

To get the ball rolling, I'll start with my choices. I really enjoyed reading J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" (7th grade) and Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" (9th grade). I did not enjoy reading Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" (10th grade).
