What was a book you were made to read for class that ended up actually being one of your favorites?
For me it was The Outsiders. I read it in 7th grade and loved it so much. Couldn't wait to go to English class to find out what happened next! And the movie - don't even get me started! It's one of my favorites and has such a great cast!
"Stay gold, Ponyboy." 💔😰
@placidSquare9564 We had to read that one in 8th grade! Loved it, but our teacher made us read it so slowly that it took 6 months to finish it... it got so boring at that point since it took so long! One that I enjoyed reading though was Delirium!
@SunnyFox207 I had never heard of Delirium, so I looked it up. It sounds like a really cool book!
@placidSquare9564 ether because of whin-dixe or Brian's winter
@Insertcrazyusernamehere Because of Winn Dixie is another one of my favorites from childhood!
I love Because of Winn-Dixie!!
@ThatChristLover It's such a sweet and lovely book <3
@ThatChristLover
I haven't read the book yet, I only watched the film adaptation a few times :0 I liked the storyline though
I think I might read it soon now that you mentioned it friend <3
It’s a cute story! It’s a bit more for preteens rather than teens but I still like it :3
@ThatChristLover
I love children's books in general so it sounds like a nice read for me :)
@placidSquare9564
For me, The Taming of the Shrew. I got to read the part of Kate and I really enjoyed how feisty she was.
@neatBlueberry5213 Oh that's really cool! We read that in 9th grade. I really liked it!
@placidSquare9564 I read this book in class as well! After we watched the movie and I love the story. I even based some of the characters from my story on some in the outsiders!
@noodlesss That's really cool. May I ask which characters you drew inspiration from? :)
I read All Creatures Great and Small last year. Would never have read it on my own but I love it.
@ThatChristLover That's awesome! :)
@placidSquare9564 same
@placidSquare9564
It is not my favorites but I did like Stranger in a Strange Land.
@placidSquare9564 I absolutely LOVED 1984. I'm not really sure why though. I feel like that book just kind of spoke to me, and gave me another point of view on how this world is functioning. It also kind of, in some ways, told me to not trust the people around you.
@placidSquare9564 Probably Fahrenheit 451 or 1984 by George Orwell. Maybe I have a thing for dystopian societies.
