I didn't read this for school, but I had the exact same problem when I read it for fun! I hated all of the characters!savagelion wrote:Wuthering Heights was incredibly frustrating because I couldn't like a single character
I wasn't really a fan of Johnny Tremain. I felt like it was preachy, I couldn't get into it.

I actually read the Great Gatsby just last summer and I enjoyed it. But thankfully I didn't have to read this for a class so I was not tortured by over analysis.

I think it had to do more with the fact that because of time restrictions we skipped chunks of the book. The teacher ended up just giving us a quick summaries of what we were skipping. The teacher also didn't inspire me to want to read the book. It seemed like teaching it to us was a chore. When I graduated and went on get an English degree I decided I should re read them on my own and I love them now. I wish my teacher was more passionate about his job. Nonetheless I am glad I re read them as an adult.

I totally agree with you! I had to read To Kill a Mockingbird in school and I didn't understand it, I didn't like it, etc. I re-read it recently, and I loved it! I think we should all go back to the books we read and hated in high school and see if our opinions have changed at all.katiesquilts wrote:I definitely think the environment that you read a book in changes your perspective on the book... Also, the whole deal of HAVING to read a book or WANTING to read a book. ^^;

Exactly!! And heaven forbid having a different interpretation than the teacher!CrescentMoon wrote:A lot of the time it was hard for me to enjoy reading the books in class because of the over used imagery and symbolism and analyzing to death every word and sentence. It really took away from the joy of reading.
