What I mean by this is a novel that you read as a class meaning everyone in the class read it. I know they do this around here.

I must say I really enjoyed reading Cue For Treason and The Outsiders in Grade 9. Though I think I liked Cue For Treason better for some reason.

I really liked reading Catcher in the Rye,.

I really liked Sunset Song, by Lewis Grassic Gibbon. I haven't read it in years and it's about time I looked it out.

I really liked The Outsiders, although i remember the school wouldn't let us watch the movie - it was too violent

I also like Alas Bablyon and To Kill A Mockingbird

I thought Popcorn by Ben Ellton wasn't bad at all! ...

oh and ...
De Dochter - surprisingly good
De Grot - I had to read it several times for class, but I'm not tired of ... I could read it again.
About a Boy - not the greatest book, but nice
De Passievrucht - too bad I already knew how it would end. lmao.

And I was also glad we had to read Le Petit Prince and Le Petit Nicolas for French class.

Anna Karenina...gotta love Tolstoy!

I liked most of the books that I read for school

Here are the favorites:

"Heart of Darkness" "Pride and Prejudice" "Cry The Beloved Country"

"The Metamorphis", "The Dubliners" and in elementary school it was "dear Mr. Henshaw"

The Best book I ever read in school is a Tie
"The Giver" by(cant remember name)
"TimeLine" by Michael Crichton

The Giver made me relize I want to be a writer.
TimeLine was so good, I went back five chapters at the end so the book wouldnt finish.

My class are reading 'Northan Lights' by Philip Pullman right now. I'm half way through and it's really good. I started reading it a couple of years back and didn't find it very interesting but now because I'm doing it in school I have to read it.

The Outsiders, Cheaper by the Dozen, and The Westing Game

I don't like one of the books we read in class. BORING! I just can tell you wich was the most boring book: Der Adler der 9. Legion (The Eagle of the Ninth)

We studied and read Animal Farm by George Orwell and I used to love this book!!!!

Pride and Prejudice, Macbeth, Lord of the Flies, ummmmm can't think of any others off the top of my head. Am I strange to have enjoyed Shakespeare?

I loved:

"To Kill A Mockingbird"

"Catcher in the Rye"

"The Great Gatsby"

"Of Mice & Men"

We read "Romeo and Juliet" at school and had to play a scene of it. I just loved that.

[Message deleted]

I love To Kill A Mockingbird.


Anne

To Kill a Mockingbird and The Catcher in the Rye.

Well I love reading so I enjoyed most of the books we had to read.

The ones I enjoyed the most was To Kill a Mockingbird which I read when I was a freshman. The Great Gatsby when I was a junior and Night by Eli Weisel. Night was such an amazing story, although it was on the short side that book has stayed fresh in my mind after all these years. Very touching book that I doubt I will ever forget.

I loved when we read The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe when I was in 5th Grade. When I was in high school I read the book The Handmaid's Tale for my World History class but I was the only one that read it, I had to do a presentation on it, it was an interesting take on the future. I also really enjoyed reading Romeo & Juliet for my British Lit class my senior year of high school, but again I was the only one that read it.

I enjoyed reading and analyzing The Scarlett Letter in high school. I could not read that book again just for pleasure though. Another one was the F. Scott Fitzgerald book. I can't remember the name of it. I liked analyzing it. The one book that I read in high school that I actually do reread now is The Awakening by Kate Chopin. I love that book.[/i]

i absolutely loved to kill a mockingbird, i thought it was a great book, i also enjoyed lord of the flies and fifth business by robertson davies

I loved To Kill A Mockingbird (8th grade), Lord of the Flies (9th), and especially Cold Sassy Tree (11th).

Even though it's super far away...in grade 5 i read Castle in The Attice. It was so good, that to this day, i still remember it...*remembers*

Anyway, this is my first post here so i thought i'd say hello.

My favorites included: The Diary of Anne Frank, The Catcher in the Rye, The Joy Luck Club, Macbeth, Of Mice & Men, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Great Gatsby.

dinner at the homesick restaurant by ann tyler. she became on of my favorite authors.

I loved [color=green][/color]The catcher in the rye.
I think the edgy way the main character explains his view of the world can somehow relate to any teenager in one way or another. It is genius!
I also loved anything by Shakespeare and pretty much any written word...

Happy new year everyone!

In 10th grade we had to read a book called Go Ask Alice by an Anonymous author. It was so good. It is about a high school girl who left school and started living on the streets, then became a drug addict. Actually, this thread reminded me of it, and I just ordered it on Amazon. I think about this book often, so I am glad that I came here and was inspired to order it!

We read Rebecca- I really liked that and Of Mice and Men was so sad, but I loved that book.

Sara Plain and Tall (2nd grade)
The Witches & Charolotte's Web (4th grade)
In The Heat of the Night (9th grade)
To Kill A Mockingbird (10th grade)
Ordinary People (12th grade)
Othello (12th grade)

i didn't like any of them. They were all too short and seemed like they were really written to teach some lesson

i liked To Kill a Mockingbird, (i love the memorable characters though!) Flowers for Algernon, (wait..that was 8th grade..), Great Expectations was ok..not my favorite though, but it was better than the Tale of Two Cities (no offense to anyone! ) hmm..can't think right now..i'll try later!

To Kill a Mocking Bird, powerful book. Oh, and I don't know if this is considered a book but it was all in one book it was like short stories called The Canterbury Tales, really interesting.

The Outsiders S.E. Hinton (not sure I spelled that right) and The Color of Water by James McBride

The Outsiders, The Hobbit, and Briar Rose. All wonderful books!

I liked just about anything I read in school, but the novels that stood out as favorites were:

Killing Mr. Griffin
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Bean Trees
Their Eyes Were Watching God

Here are the books I really liked at school:

To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee (Yr 9)

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (Yr 10)

Animal Farm by George Orwell (Yr 8)


Mrs Fribsy and the rats of NIMH (Yr 8)

Good books, I recommend them...

Oh Sweet Jesus!! Did someone say Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh!?!? I think I'm gonna die. I hate that book, but I had to take it when I was a high school freshman.. Ugh! Never ever wanna lay my hand or eyes on that book ever again.

I'd say the same about "Mandragora" or "Fly Away Peter"!

My fave would have to be Shakespeare's King Lear. Though I don't know if I ever fully enjoyed a school book.. too much dissecting and analysing! It rips it to shreds, sometimes.

The Count of Monte Cristo! It is the best book! I hardly see anyone mention it.

The dangerous game in 9th grade

The Great Gatsby F Scott Fitzgerald

Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

Flowers for Algernon was terrific. I also loved To Kill a Mockingbird because of the lesson it taught (cheesy reasoning, I know...but I still liked it). I also really enjoyed The Scarlet Letter. Twisted things like that make my day! The Odyssey was awesome once I knew what the world was going on and Crime and Punishment was an eye opener. And The Great Gatsby! I thought Nick was terrific. I can't believe I almost forgot that book.

Cue for Treason

Who Has seen the Wind
To kill a mocking bird

I only read the short story for flowers for Algernon- I loved it though!

The Outsiders...Grade 6 or 7????

It was just really interesting and hit home because of where I grew up.

Also, it didn't seem like a book that would cause me to have homework!!!! lol.

yeah, the outsiders was a good book, i really liked to kill a mockingbird, lord of the flies and fifth business, i read those in highschool, they were really good, i can read to kill a mockingbird again and again, i can still read the outsiders again, i loved that movie as well, both of them actually!

Yeah, I love the movie too.

Actually, I bought it on DVD and it wasn't the right DVD inside...It was "Malibu's Most Wanted"!

That really made me mad....

lol, really, that sucks, did you take it back, or watch it? the movie was kinda funny, dumb, but it made me laugh.

I liked that book to, it was one of the more interesting books I had to read in school.
