    XD Pretty self-explanatory... Come on, you know you've read at least ONE really good book for school or something.
    Mine would be Romeo and Juliet, Lord of the Flies, or Walk Two Moons. Romeo and Juliet is pretty hard to understand, but I think it's really good. X3 I didn't like LotF at first, but as it got more interesting I understood it better and really got into it. Walk Two Moons... I read that in sixth grade. XD; It wasn't very hard, but it was goooood...

    I liked "Relatos de un Naufrago" by Gabriel García Marquez. I read it in 8th grade for spanish class. The story was really interesting. Also, I liked The Secret Garden and "El niño que enloqueció de amor" ( The boy that become crazy by love), that is a very sad book.

    I usually enjoy reading all the books read for school classes. The most recent one that I really look a liking to was called A.D. 62: Pompeii. I had to do it for my Latin class and reading the title I thought it would be extremely boring. In the end I was hoping for a sequel, but no such book exists.

    And..BUMP.

    I don't read the novels for assignments because I'm kind of lazy that I just rent the movie .-.
    But I decided to break my "tradition" and read "Romeo and Juliet" in 10th grade and I really liked it.

    I almost cried and all in the classroom xD;;

    I pretty much like all the books I have to read as assignments. The most recent one I read was The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It was really good and I learned a lot.

    I liked And Then There Were None and The Outsiders. Besides that, my teachers pick the worst books I've ever read.

    Of Mice and Men.

    I think I actually did pretty good in reading it all xD I mean, for someone who hates books as much as me, twas a miracle xP ..I only did it cos I was forced to, by the by >_>

    Anyway, yah. I loved Lenny's character in that book x3 He was just like a big, dumb kid. Everyone (even his best friend) called him a ****** and stuff. He was so naive! :D ..though kinda crazy o_O There's a part where he says he likes this beautiful womans hair, and she asks if he wants to stroke it, so he does and he's all like, "it's so soft 8D" then she tells him to stop 'cos he'll mess it up, but he grabs her hair, she gets distressed and starts screaming and he's like, "STOP SCREAMIN'" and grabs her head and jaw, and breaks her neck <_> We watched the film adaption, too. That made it all the more creepy xD

    The ending was quite sad, but I'm not into all that soppy crap xP lol, BAWWWW.

    ^ SAME D:

    My favourite was George, though. Since he tolerated Lenny and kind of let Lenny mooch off him. How gallant. >: It was funny when we were reading it in class - at the end, practically everyone was crying. XD You'll be feedin' rabbits in heaven now, Lenny! ;3;

    We watched the film too.. omg Gary Sinise and John Malkovich! o: yepyepyep.

    We had to read a really great book called Fever.

    It was so emotional it actually put our teacher in tears when she read it, and half the class as well.
