worst/best english novel you have ever read in school? (1 Viewer)

[-may-cat-]

im surprised no one has mentioned harry potter, even though i dont think it was that good i would of thought someone would of.

BEST: memoirs of a geisha - Arthur Golden
Prey- forgot author (thriller about computers)
james patterson's woman's murder club series is pretty good.
dan brown is also good.
oh and of course good old Cambridge 4unit, good night reading.
i like to kill a mocking bird, good themes and clear message.
BAD: i dont not like book, i just stop reading it if its boring, ive liked all my texts for english, yes even brave new world. i cant bring my self to reading Lord of the Rings though. .long and boring much?

... who has read harry potter for english??? i didnt think it was a text?

u could actually use it for a related text for imaginative journeys... but not appropriate for a 08 prelim thread i guess

Most books are books of ideas anyway, and it presents some very good ones. Those things you mentioned only seem so ridiculous because a lot of them are common today - proving his personal genius

More proving that he didnt fit in with his time period, and liked magic mushrooms

Brave New World - worst pile of bollocks ever!

For all those doing In the wild for their modules, prepare for shit....

best:
- to kill a mockingbird
- animal farm
- fahrenheit 451

worst:
- the odyssey! its horrible! read it for extension. its so horribly long and boring. you read one page and you have to put it down.

I haven't started reading it, but one of the prescribed texts for EE1 is Dune. Given the bible-like thickness of the novel and its Star Wars-like sequence, I'm gonna die reading this mumbo jumbo.

 

[Lyly]

you really liked that? really?

Well I thought the time travel perspective was interesting.
And yeah, it was better than certain books I've had to read this year. :mad1:
