    I agree but then when there are quiz/test questions with quotes, I get confused a bit.

    When I read the no fear versions, I only read the normal English version. Wouldn't want to read a boring book twice!

    Oh yeah that happens :(
    But I'm happy since for my last test my teacher gave us the questions ahead of time so I could look it up :D

    Eh not really. It wasn't much like a test, but more like 5 mini-essays. He gave us 15 prompts and told us only 5 were going to be on the test, but we could prepare it ahead of time.

    That's still nicer than most of the teachers I've had.

    Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad

    ^Hated it, boring, didn't care to read it but had to. Reading a page seemed to take an hour at a time, long, drawn-out, and obscure. Two thumbs down, Conrad.

    Hmm, The Scarlet Letter would def be at the top of my list of boring books. The only other one I can think of right now is Boomeritis which my friend tried to get me to read, blah! I'd rather beat my head against the wall.

    I tend not to finish boring books.. Hrm, so I'll go with Macbeth for school last year, though even that was alright.

    I'm going to have to agree with textbooks.

    Though if we're talking about real books, I remember when I was younger HATING The Little Prince. And I normally don't hate books, so its something I distinctly remember. xD

    I like some textbooks, namely social studies texts. But, aside from that, I had to read Catcher in the Rye for English.. SO BORING
