Honestly i don't really mind reading just because my teacher assigned it. As long as the teacher gives me a decent book to read. I remember in 6th grade reading oliver twist, Worst Book Ever, that made me think that all the books in school were bad. But ever since the 6th grade i have been given all but good books. such as "the outsiders" and "call of the wild."

ever been forced to read a really bad book?

Luckily throughout my school days we mostly read short stories, most of which were good(The Veldt, The Most Dangerous game, A Sound of Thunder, ect.)

anyone ever had to read "Old Man and the Sea?" I havent, but i heard its so boring it makes you contemplae suicide

The pages describing his battle with the fish(most of the book) were so exiting...

Some of the books I read in school were good, but most were the "classics" and were just horrible.
