Great books you don't like??
Joseph:
1985 was written by Anthony Burgess. Mayhaps you mean the significantly more famous 1984?
Lines:
i was one of the three people in my english class in HS who liked Jane Eyre. i was also one of the few who didn't really care for Catcher in the Rye. i mean, it was well written, but i hated Holden. i wanted to smack him. i'm currently reading wuthering heights (never read it in HS like just about everyone else) and i like it. Jane Austen has good books, but i can't read them too often. and i was one of the few people who liked The Grapes of Wrath. i read it in the summer though, so i forced myself through the first third, but once i got into it, i realized i actually liked it. and we didn't have to disect the hell out of it, which might have been part of it.
Madam Bovary was probably the most boring book i've ever read. i hated it. Flaubert was a waste of my time, and this was a book i chose from a list to do a project on. i gave up and got the sparknotes, which i really don't like doing, because it was that painful of a read.
Princess Leah:
possibly not a great book, but a great author
the Silmarillion, seriously, was the man on crack or something, Its so unreadable
Enie:
Perhaps a liiiitle off topic.
But I have to write a chapter for the beginning of "Of Mice and Men"...I was supposed to give it in about a month ago and decided now was a good time to start it.
I've had a few ideas but I find that they're stupidly simular to the first chapter Steinbeck wrote, or I can't write about it for more than half a page.
Help?!
:(
McTaggart:
Personally, I'd submit Steinbeck's first chapter verbatim. I can't imagine what good that assignment will do you at all (other than passing the course maybe). So glad I'm not in school anymore.
Was anyone else made to read The Collector in highschool and actually like it? I was the only person in my class who didn't just go "book sucked lol, why write that bit in the middle twice?". (Incidently I also failed every assignment related to the book, and the exam too).
