I remember having to read Animal Farm and being excited at first. I thought it was going to be a goofy comedy.

One weekend I sat down and read the 150+ pages I had so far got depressed as I thought it sucked and trashed it.When I told the teacher what I'd done he about shit(no computers then and I had no back-up) and told me something I've never forgotten,"A writer is their own worst critic,NEVER judge your own work."

That was 30+ years ago and I've yet to attempt the novel again. I keep thinking one day I'll find the time and start it again.

Where The Red fern Grows and The Outsiders were my favorite "real" books, but I read Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light In The Attic repeatedly. I remember liking some book about a mouse that rode a motorcycle too.

I remember this from grade school.. "The Mouse and the Motorcycle".. They made a movie off this as well -- I believe his name was Ralph. Made engine noises and the bike would go... Haven't thought about that in probably 20 years.

Anyone else do a multitude of grade school book reports on Goosebumps books? Teachers never liked it much though.

Reading this thread makes me realize that I really didn't have to read a lot of classics in either high school or college. I think the greatest portion of them that I did read happened in my 8th grade English class (The Old Man and the Sea, Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, 1984, Moby Dick, Hamlet and a couple of others that I can't come up with atm).
