Actually, I hold a life-long record of never having been assigned a book I haven't already read, lol. Ones that were assigned that I already like were

How Green Was My Valley
Angela's Ashes
The Good Earth
Of Mice and Men
Catfish and Mandala
Wuthering Heights

Year of Impossible Goodbyes I thought it would be boring but it rocked.

I really like My Antonia.. had to read that for English last year. I think it's a beautiful story. I also like... The Lord Of The Flies. Don't ask me why.

The Great Gatsby
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
A Tale of Two Cities
Macbeth
The Catcher in the Rye
Of Mice and Men

Wow umm

Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Drums
1984 by George Orwell
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Macbeth
A collection of short stories by Charles Dickens

There was this other book I can't remember what it is called but it was about most of the people on the planet dying and there being this lad and a girl left.
That was pretty good

Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Tuck Everlasting
Stone Cold


We read the first two in year seven, the third earlier this year.

Holes...eh. When I first read it, in year 6, I loved it. Everybody in my class loved it. But then I had to do a group project on it in year 8 and it made me hate it so much >.< We had to delve into it so much and it dragged on for ages.

There's a lot of them, but I'll just recap a few.
1984
The Secret History
Catcher in the Rye
The Most Dangerous Game
The Jungle
The Bean Trees
Walk Two Moons (Man! That was forever ago!)

Ah! I read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH in Grade Seven. I found it boring though

Number the Stars
Romeo and Juliet
Jane Eyre
To Kill a Mockingbird.

I don't think I ever finished A Seperate Peace, I could not STAND it.

I just finished reading One of Those Horrible Books Where the Mother Dies. I thought I was going to hate it... but I actually enjoyed myself... I guess maybe I am a chick lit fan.

Books I've had to read that I enjoyed? Uhm..

A Clockwork Orange
Catcher in the Rye
Life of Pi
Catch 22
1984
Animal Farm
Oryx & Crake (oh..wow)

I haven't read much of the "required reading" for American high schools, have I?

Heavilly Canadian though, I rock.

I haven't found any special assigned books yet, they're all 'OK'.

Captain Correlli's Mandolin.
