However, ever have instances where what you read was actually kind of fun or engaging?
For me, the stuff I liked was:
-Dear Mr. Henshaw
Read it in 4th grade. We all thought it was pretty good, and I happen to remember how many times wer were laughing at the part with "Deliver de letter de sooner de better de later de letter de madder I getter."
-Tuck Everlasting
My 5th grade teacher was pretty good. She wanted to assign us books that we wanted to read or that sounded interesting This was one of those rare books that got a 100% approval rating. XD we once actually stayed in from recess because we wanted to hear the next chapter.
-Westing Game
5th grade again. We were learning about mystery, and we actually wanted to read this one because it sounded interesting.
-Downriver (I think that's what it's called)
8th grade this time. This was pretty interesting, it's a book about a group of teens in some kind of teen-rehab program (think like for juvenile delinquents) who steal a boat and decide to raft down the Grand Canyon. They don't make it, but it was still a fun read.
-The Odyssey
It was pretty much my kind of book, really. I read it in 9th grade.
-Secret Life of Bees
This was an unusual one. I read it in 11th grade. I thought "oh man this is gonna be dull" but it was actually quite interesting. I thought the plot was really good. *shrugs* hard to say why, it was a surprising like.
-Solaris
LEt's just say this...if it weren't for this college course I never would have found this.
-Roadside Picnic
Same as above - I didn't even know it inspired STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.
-The City & The City
Yep, same as above lol. It's really really intriguing, about two cities that occupy the same space.
-Oryx and Crake
Well, I might have read this one if I found out what it was about. Yes, I'm in a college class...that's having us read speculative fiction novels. My professor is really really awesome, and they're keeping an open mind about it. Yeah, hard to believe, no?
