September 4th: Back to School: What were some of your favorite required reading books in school?
We did not have any require reading. Not in elementary school, we read whatever we wanted. Not in High School, if we read whatever we wanted.
In Uni we had some required reading, cos I took lit classes. But it was so long ago! I did fall totally in love with Jane Eyre, wonderful book! I should have read it earlier.
And I took this read 10 books and write about them class. I read them over a summer, but I can not remember which ones! I remember lots of thought provoking ones, I wish I had GR back then. Leguin, Atwood, aargh, this annoys me now! Anyway, Jane Eyre...Jane Eyre :)

It's been so long since I've had required reading that I can't really remember what we read. I do remember loving 1984 and The Catcher in the Rye.
ReplyDeleteI have never read those
DeleteI don't remember any of my required reading. It was so long ago! lol

ReplyDeleteWillingly is always betetr
DeleteSame - don't remember any of the required reading!

DeleteI actually did not enjoy much required reading in school. I love reading, but it's so different when you're forced to do it!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
True!
DeleteI loved Jane Eyre! There's only one re-telling that I like as much as the original. :)
ReplyDeleteNever read one I enjoyed as much :)
DeleteI had required reading starting in Jr. High and through High School and College, but I can only remember a very few.
ReplyDeleteLove Jane Eyre, too, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't required reading for me. Too bad! :)
Too bad! It made me fall in love and then I read it 3 times that class, lol
DeleteI tried Jane Eyre twice, but never got through it. I should give it one my shot.
ReplyDeleteI can't promise I would still love it if I read it again ;)
DeleteI had a lot of required reading and it really turned me off of reading for a bit. I am not a fan of classics so it was not an enjoyable activity.
ReplyDeleteThat is really bad when that happens :/
DeleteI don't think I cared for any of the required reading books lol
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteOne book that always stuck with me was I AM THE CHEESE by Robert Cormier, which I read in maybe 7th grade? In college I took a literature class that focused on Science Fiction. That was awesome.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it, must google :D
