EPTwhile I never hated reading the books that they assigned (if they were bad then they wouldn't assign them kk?) I really loved it when I enjoyed a book that was assigned you know? Like "wow, I wish I would have read this sooner."

How can you call to kill a mockingbird a crappy book, seriously you're either too young or dumb to appreciate it, I can't imagine any other reason. Maybe you didn't like the theme but jesus christ how can you call it a BAD book, what the fuck classifies as a good book in your opinion? And dont say Harry Potter or the ghost of Gregory Peck is going to come over to your house and slap the shit out of you. | ||

However in modern day literature I really enjoyed work by Dan Brown, he wrote The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons for those who don't know, I liked the writing style however he becomes quite repetitive in his twists to his stories. Still some good reading though, kind of informative and interesting at the same time (he had 2 other books, I think it was Deception Point and Digital Fortress? Just in case anyone was interested) I think I would enjoy other book types like that, similar to the Bourne trilogy. Any recommendations anyone? | ||

Including both yours and your 'friends' I guess lesser_good was the only one that actually doesn't hate the book. | ||

This book, 1984, The Jungle, and Grapes of Wrath are some of my favorites. I guess I just like depressing books! I'm glad I got to read them in high school, it's really hard to find books nowadays that hit me the way the classics do. | ||

It has become the basis for so many other stories and has been redone hundreds if not thousands of times. Even if you arent smart enough to understand it you could at least appreciate its historical value and its value to English literature. For Christs sake its the oldest work of English literature ever iirc. | ||
