I'm a college student, but back in high school, the one book I couldn't even complete reading was Moby Dick. I made it halfway, but that was it.
Another one I had a disdain for was Beloved. I did get through that, but ugh!
I flew through Beloved!

What's "A Room with a View?" Is that another book? (^(oo)^)
My eyelids would lower halfway every time we had to read Beowulf in class. I could hardly stay awake.
Yup.^^Funny!! I never read Moby Dick...except for the first line..."Call me Ishmael"...Knew it would be downhill from there..!
I've never read the Odyssey and the Illiad. I wasn't on the required reading list for any of my high school or college classes and I've never gotten around to it.
I read everything I was supposed to, but I think the most inane book ever was Kate Chopin's "The Awakening". Ugh.
I also hated The Grapes of Wrath in high school... too long & boring. Now that I'm the teacher, I enjoy/appreciate Steinbeck's writing more... but I still hate the ending.
