Are they're any books you really dislike?

I couldn't stand Bean Trees. I got through some of it but I found it so boring and long. I didnt enjoy Romeo and Juliet either. I love the way Shakespeare writes but I couldnt stand the characters.

The Great Gatsby can be good, if you have a good teacher who is willing to elaborate. I'd say pretty much anything we read in middle school, because that was when we had to read lame books about acceptance and kindness.

I swear every book we read last year was about racism, except for Romeo & Juliet and Anthem.
