I will say that I’ve had difficulty reading The Hobbit in the 5th grade though.

Having read some more books from the "standard highschool booklist" I can also say Wuthering Heights. I can see why others may have liked it, but it just wasn't for me.

I absolutely love Of Mice and Men. Your response is totally hilarious. There's a pretty good movie adaptation of it, too, starring Gary Sinise and John Malkovich. Malkovich does, in my opinion, a WONDERFUL job of playing Lenny.PepperedPenelope wrote: ↑17 Feb 2019, 14:11 I actually made it through without reading a lot of the books from the "standard highschool booklist" so I have been working my way back through some.

I'll have to find it! Maybe it will make me want to give it another go! Young me didn't really appreciate the literary devices that are so frequently used... the same thing happened with The Lord of the Flies and the pig hunts in itAmber Nichole wrote: ↑21 Feb 2019, 20:39I absolutely love Of Mice and Men.
