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.

Yeah..I like reading, but not the books/stories they make us read in school.
Well I read "The most dangerous game" I hate it.
This school yeah I haven't read any books that the teachers didn't assign to me.
