I bet half of you reading this are all "i don't like to read", or "me? books?"
but i bet you do like books. I think it's school that's making you read boring books, book that aren't of your interest, so therefore that's "hating reading". i loathe the books we read in school. it's nothing that i like. nothing that interests me. but i love to read, don't get me wrong. i have a bookshelf full of books. but yeah, i hate the books at school. so what books have you read (recently-- last year/this year) in school that you HATED-- fell asleep on that boring. and what books did you LIKE reading? i'm currently reading the odyssey and we just finished this mythology book. i hate mythology, or anything ancient. it's so boring that it took me two hours to read a chapter (they're book I, II, III, etc. instead of chpaters) and take notes. we read huckleberry finn last year and it was so boring. I read the Giver last year, and that was the only book I probably liked. |

I really like to kill a mockingbird, tuesdays with morrie, and i am the cheese. i think the only reason why i understood to kill a mockingbird though was because my teacher explained it. the movie sucks though. nothing like i'd imagined.
i really hate: the scarlet letter however, i hate everything we have to read in the lit books practically. -_- school does take the fun out of reading. for me its because i have to answer stupid questions and do essays on the stuff. i had to put down a really good book (morrie) in between chapters to answer stuff when i wanted to keep going. i only want to read for a good time! not have to over-analyze everything! And why is it that every english teacher, it seems, adores mark twain?! i don't have anything against the man or his writings (since i've never read any), but still, i just want to know. They also all seem to hate Hp. QUOTE ^Are you joking? Ray Bradbury is an amazing writer. An amazingly freaky writer who idolizes Poe. I've read Usher II and.. I think Ray is quite a disturbing man. QUOTE In 6th grade I was forced to read books about survival like The Hatchet. OMG. snoozefest. I really like the hatchet |
