Catcher in the rye, one of the worst books ever and is forced on students.

I read it later in life and it's actually great. I hated it in school though?

Wuthering Heights and The Scarlet Letter were the worst books for me. As an adult they still have no redeeming qualities.

The Great Gatsby is the worst book ever inflicted on HS students.

Great Gatsby still makes me want to castrate myself and suture my balls to my eyelids. I fucking hate that book and I fucking hate that story.

MADAME BOVARY. That book can die a thousand fiery deaths. I don’t agree with the underlying movement it was supposed to symbolize. It’s a mess of a book on its own thought for 50 million reasons. ONE of those reasons is: it’s a major plot point that she read romance novels in high school, so was disappointed on her wedding night. Which is - a lot to unpack. It gets worse though! Just so much more irritatingly worse! It’s just the MOST annoying. Come to think of it - the ‘othering’ and lack of reasonable motive for the main character may simply be because the male writer has ‘every precious writer syndrome’ and only talks AT or FOR women instead of TO them. This actually makes me feel slightly better. Terrible book, though. Shoot that book straight to hell. I actually burned my paperback copy once I got my exam A.
