Is this quite a reasonable assumption? The only exeption has to be Noughts and Crosses in year 7; which I loved (:

Noughts and Crosses isn't a classic.
Anywho, it can go both ways. On the one hand, I really enjoyed reading Of Mice and Men and Journey's End during class; I thought that was great, as we had different people reading different characters. However, I think after a while of taking notes and going back and studying the book, I can get fatigued and put off the book. So, for example, I'm thoroughly fed up with Of Mice and Men right now. Though it is a great book.

Changed titles, true.
Hmm, I still like TKAM, but looking over it three times within 2 years is infuriating.

For the most part, I find this true. I haven't actually truly loved anything I've read for class. Although I highly enjoyed The Great Gatsby, I know I'm never going to read it again because I feel like I analyzed the crap outta that book ^^

The only book that I've hated in school is Animal Farm by Orwell. It's so lack-lustre and unsubtly metaphoric.

This is true. I dislike all the things I read in school. Although not only is that because of the crazy analysis, its also because my English teacher is awful at everything. She changes ok lessons into hell. -_-

Okay, well, I always thought this was true in my younger years. But as I got older I realised that it actually enhanced the book you were reading. Yes, some of the work they make you do is super petty and annoying, but it gives you context and themes and makes you think more deeply about the book. Maybe it;s just because they made us read a lot of older books I don't know. XD But once we stopped studying a book, I did (in some cases) enjoy the book more.
That said, I've had a teacher completely ruin a book so I guess it just depends on the book and the teacher and the way tey approach things.

Haha, I thought you and your friends loved it? I did untill I was forced to read it for the billionth time and then write an essay on it. It sort of killed it for me  |
