What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked?

I'm a gen zer (2021 grad.) At my middle/high school, we read a lot of modern stuff. The Hunger Games, Unwind, The Giver, some weird book called "Tangerine." Some classics too; Of Mice and Men, A Tale of Two Cities, The Diary of Anne Frank, some Shakespeare, etc. I've always been a book nerd so I liked most of them, others were a real drag.

I guess I just got curious as to what a lot of the standard reading was like back around the 80s. I asked my parents what they read, but neither of them really remembered. So I figured I'd ask here and see what y'all thought of the books you read back in school.

Also, if anyone happened to not like the books they read back in school, any ideas on what you would have wanted to read instead?
