The best book you've read as an assignment.

[♥ M e w I c h i g o ♥]

XD Pretty self-explanatory... Come on, you know you've read at least ONE really good book for school or something.
Mine would be Romeo and Juliet, Lord of the Flies, or Walk Two Moons. Romeo and Juliet is pretty hard to understand, but I think it's really good. X3 I didn't like LotF at first, but as it got more interesting I understood it better and really got into it. Walk Two Moons... I read that in sixth grade. XD; It wasn't very hard, but it was goooood...

[Mr.Sprinkles]

i read A Shadow on the Glass by Ian Irvine i LOVED it and the rest of his books

[Devil's Angel]

Half of Tucker everlasting <--- i think thats the title -.-'

[Heaxrt17]

I liked "Relatos de un Naufrago" by Gabriel García Marquez. I read it in 8th grade for spanish class. The story was really interesting. Also, I liked The Secret Garden and "El niño que enloqueció de amor" ( The boy that become crazy by love), that is a very sad book.

[Nobody's Shadow]

I usually enjoy reading all the books read for school classes. The most recent one that I really look a liking to was called A.D. 62: Pompeii. I had to do it for my Latin class and reading the title I thought it would be extremely boring. In the end I was hoping for a sequel, but no such book exists.

[Crumpet]

i usally enjoy the books i read fromschool - but I loved "The Outsiders", and "Pankration" and there was one other book I was fond off - but cant remember the name

[Xaale]

I read Tuck Everlasting and thought that was good. I also read the Witch of Blackbird pond which was interesting.

[Guardian_Soul]

I would have to say The Outsiders.

[Tootsie]

And..BUMP.

I don't read the novels for assignments because I'm kind of lazy that I just rent the movie .-.
But I decided to break my "tradition" and read "Romeo and Juliet" in 10th grade and I really liked it.

I almost cried and all in the classroom xD;;

[beezygee]

I thought Pride and Prejudice was a pretty good book.

[La Sofa]

I liked "Where the Red Fern Grows". I was a pretty good book actually.

[Gerdneek]

I like Harry Potter books. I had to read them for A.R.

[Star_Seeker]

I pretty much like all the books I have to read as assignments. The most recent one I read was The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It was really good and I learned a lot.

[Falling Star]

In school.... well the only one I can think of right now is "Maniac Magee"...

[raglflagl]

Assigned eh? Well the only thing I could actually say would be "Gathering Blue"

[.Kairi.]

I liked And Then There Were None and The Outsiders. Besides that, my teachers pick the worst books I've ever read.

[Lithium]

Of Mice and Men.

I think I actually did pretty good in reading it all xD I mean, for someone who hates books as much as me, twas a miracle xP ..I only did it cos I was forced to, by the by >_>

Anyway, yah. I loved Lenny's character in that book x3 He was just like a big, dumb kid. Everyone (even his best friend) called him a retard and stuff. He was so naive! :D ..though kinda crazy o_O There's a part where he says he likes this beautiful womans hair, and she asks if he wants to stroke it, so he does and he's all like, "it's so soft 8D" then she tells him to stop 'cos he'll mess it up, but he grabs her hair, she gets distressed and starts screaming and he's like, "STOP SCREAMIN'" and grabs her head and jaw, and breaks her neck <_> We watched the film adaption, too. That made it all the more creepy xD

The ending was quite sad, but I'm not into all that soppy crap xP lol, BAWWWW.

[Mish]

^ SAME D:

My favourite was George, though. Since he tolerated Lenny and kind of let Lenny mooch off him. How gallant. >: It was funny when we were reading it in class - at the end, practically everyone was crying. XD You'll be feedin' rabbits in heaven now, Lenny! ;3;

We watched the film too.. omg Gary Sinise and John Malkovich! o: yepyepyep.

[Gwen]

We had to read a really great book called Fever.

It was so emotional it actually put our teacher in tears when she read it, and half the class as well.

[Suiihou]

The best books I've had to read for class are The Outsiders, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Hot Zone.

[Soushirei]

I have a few: Cue for Treason, Hero of Lesser Causes, and my elementary classic: Fantastic Mr. Fox. :3

[EvilMan_89]

Portarit of the Artist, Romeo and Juliet, Hamelet, and of course Stones fromt eh River

[hidden_light]

I got to say for its a tie between The Messenger, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The House on mango street.
They all have unique, interesting styles.

[Luna Lovegood]

"Awake and Dreaming" by Kit Pearson (http://www.amazon.ca/Awake-Dreaming-Kit-Pearson/dp/014038166X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201451990&sr=1-2), "Forbidden City" by William Bell (http://www.amazon.ca/Forbidden-City-William-Bell/dp/0770428134/ref=pd_bowtega_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201451786&sr=1-1), and "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry (http://www.amazon.ca/Number-Stars-Lois-Lowry/dp/0440403278/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201451896&sr=1-1).

[Darkcloud]

The 'Ender's Game' series were some of the best books I've ever read.

[Larxenegirl101]

i read the sign of the beaver and loved it.

[kaseykockroach]

A Sound of Thunder was just about the only assigned book that was able to keep my attention.

[HellKitten]

That Was Then, This Is Now. Awesome book it was. I read it in two days. Weird ending though. I'm surprised they actually gave it as a 6th grade book it contained quiet a few swear like ******* and to some extent of a graphic death. It was a great book, however.

[Sexy Sheva]

There is so many lol

Lately, we've read a book called
"A Day No Pigs Will Die" and i really enjoyed the book :3

[Darkwatch]

Worst: Romeo and Juliet - Horrible love story. Just..horrible. The symbols by this point in time are dramatically overused and the whole them getting together as a symbol of life and death just made me want to vomit. Plus, all they wanted to do was have sex. Not love, lust. >:

Best: Lord of the Flies - Regardless if the story itself was pretty cliché, the fact it was about kids was great.

[Pyrɸ]

"A MODEST PROPOSAL" by swift

a very interesting book... and disturbing... lol

[Sara]

Favorite: "The Odyssey"

Amazing story, thousands of years old, but still well-developed. One of the most favorite stories I've ever read.

[Amethyst Grave]

"Heathrow Nights"

[sakayoyo]

when i was in second or third grde forgot.
but it was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

my favorite book to this day

[Laurence_Fox]

Of all the books I've read over the years it was Night.

It's such a short and simple read but the book speaks volumes to you of what happened to the author in Nazi Germany. It's a real tough book to read but it's one of the most meaningful books I've read for an assignment.

[Rоxаs]

I LOVED reading "keeper of the doves", it was so sad and quiet.

[Crumpet]

i usally enjoy the books i read fromschool - but I loved "The Outsiders", and "Pankration" and there was one other book I was fond off - but cant remember the name

i'm actually reading a new book called wasted by mark johnson.... it's really sad, butit's really good, its says the f word a lot though

[Shadow]

"Thirsty", and runner up was "Theories of Relativity"

Thirsty really appealed to my taste of reading, even though I barely read, and Theories was unintentionally funny, and had a lot of sexual references that made me keep reading.

[Roxazthelight]

hmm i like "1/2 (Half) Crazy" the original name is "Sakit 1/2 Jiwa" the indonesian book, this book was verry funny :D

[Rоxаs]

New faves: The Giver and Gathering Blue

[Starry :D]

Romeo and Juilet would be the best out of all the books I have to read..though sometimes the shakspearian language confuses me xD

[Alex C:]

The Giver. Good book very interesting. I've read it for so many assignments already though.

[Aura]

I liked the book A Child Called "It" and any World War II books like The Diary of Anne Frank.

[Princess Snow White]

I liked "To Kill a Mockingbird", Romeo and Juliet", and "The Outsiders".
And I had to watch the movies of them as an assignment too.

[{feel.the.wrath}]

Fever 1893 or something like that. It was by Laurie Halse Anderson. She is one of my favorite authors. =D

[Dove Syndrome]

"The Idiot"
"The Rose and the Beast"
"Romeo and Juliet"

[Michelangelo]

Tuck Everlasting

[Pyrɸ]

i want to say Frankenstein.... but I'm not sure... I think I'd have enjoyed the book better if it wasn't an assignment... but it was good overall.

EDIT: OH WAIT!! I remember! "A MODEST PROPOSAL". That book was AWESOME

[Advent]

The Catcher in the Rye. I love it. The writing, the little side-stories, the characters, it's all great!

[Kokoro]

Most of the books I read as an assignment turn out as my favorite books. XD The Outsiders, Bridge to Terabithia, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and Where the Red Fern Grows.

I didn't care much for The Pearl because our teacher rushed us through the book.

[Heaven's Angel]

hmm... the book Crispin, by Avi... it was such an intense book, and i hated it when the teacher always made us stop when i got to a good part! XD

[kaseykockroach]

Great Expectations, Of Mice & Men and A Christmas Carol are all school assignment books that are on my list of favorites. If only they were other people's favorites as well at school...

[Solid Snake]

Death Note Another Note The BB Murder Cases

[Singstar]

Dream by the stars. Excellent book. Forgot who made it but it was really good.

[Namine-x]

Holes by Louis Sachar - I really enjoyed it && i liked the movie too

[Ashwa <3]

My favorite would probably be The Odyssey.

I love it so much. Its quite old but I still like how it deals with the Gods/mythology.

[Cherry]

I think it was Antigone that turned my head in an assignment.
The Odyssey is pretty awesome too. Homer - (not the simpsons Homer, the Greek bard Homer) Illustrated this in such a way... I just love greek mythology lol!

[Asterisk]

Holes for sure,loved that book ^^

[krayzie]

The Outsiders for sure

[P E A N U T]

The Outsiders for sure

That was a good one =)

I also liked "All Quiet on the Western Front" . Even though I normally don't like war books, that one was pretty good.

[Pyrɸ]

Reading Lolita in Tehran

Good book.

[Hayabusa]

The DaVinci Code.

It didn't bore me to death, though I never finished it >.>

[Lady Beatrice]

The Catcher in the Rye.
I loved it XD

[Kaiionel]

I loved The Giver, The Golden Compass was pretty good, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, the Witches by Roald Dahl, Holes, the Diary of Anne Frank, and I'm sure there are plenty more but none I can think of at the moment.

[jojoj13]

Percy Jackson: Titan's Curse....
it kinda interest me....
also have the fourth one already and im gonna use it for another book report...

[~Misa-Chan~]

I read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse (same story btw) I love those books! <3

[Tootsie]

I read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse (same story btw) I love those books! <3

Since when the Twilight saga has been given for an assignment..?

Read.teh.topic.titlez.4.ever

Beside Romeo & Juliet,Sense & Sensibility was not bad.

[Friendly_Heartless]

Storm Thief by Chris Wooding, that is a fantastic book!! It had me on edge the whole time. Hee hee... :D

[The Lone Wanderer]

I'd have to say I was in 6th grade when I read it. It was Tangerine by Edward Bloor. I simply love that book.

[S m i l e s <3]

My favorite book that I've HAD to read was And then there were none. It scared the hell out of me but it was just so well thought out and good. At the end of it all I could say was damn.

[W7F]

"The Outsiders", "Holes", and I guess "Slaughterhouse Five". S5 was a little confusing at first, but I got used to the author's style, and it was pretty good.

[RoxaSoraGirl]

"The Outsiders", "Holes", and I guess "Slaughterhouse Five". S5 was a little confusing at first, but I got used to the author's style, and it was pretty good.

Ohhh I read "The Outsiders" and "Holes" for class assignments...I liked them ^_^

May favs. were probably...Cyrano de Bergerac and Speak ^_^

[Desi]

I read Tomorow when the war begun
It was so good I read teh whole series~

[jettie]

Ohhh I read "The Outsiders" and "Holes" for class assignments...I liked them ^_^

May favs. were probably...Cyrano de Bergerac and Speak ^_^


yeah! the outsiders was a good book. especially for school...

[Gwen]

Copper Sun, it was an amazing piece that taught the hardships of slavery, and the best part was, it wasnt one of those boring 'respect the african americans' books, it was great :3

[Arcantress]

The Giver was really good, imo :)

[jojoj13]

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Battle of Labyrinth

Good.

Maybe better than the 3rd one.

Yeah.

[Michelangelo]

I don't know if I have posted here before but if I did I change it to:

The Outsiders<333

[Spunk Ransom (:]

Hmm, from what I can remember, lol, I would probably have to say Alice in Wonderland. I read the actual book last year for my Logic course, I found the whole story rather intriguing.

[The Fuk?]

The Crucible, hands down

[Ventez]

I had to read "Tangerine" last year and do a project on it. Really good book. Kinda creepy, but still good.
And for the record, I got an A+ on that project. :)

[Vexen_Is_God]

I've seen many wonderful books mentioned here. The Crucible and The Giver are amazing works of genius.

My favourite literary authour growing up was Nathaniel Hawthorne followed by Charles ****ens. The way Hawthorne conveys the messages in his stories is absolutely amazing to me. He uses illusions, symbolisms, and plenty of similes and metaphores, so much so that the simplistic story he appears to be weaving really is a cover over the deeper and more absolute feelings and truths. I adore Young Gooman Brown and The Scarlet Letter.

****ens has a way of making his realistic characters and dialogues capture your heart. Oftentimes his characters are very plain, normal individuals living in a world that is alive and thick with pressures. You will find his characters not only battling the environments, but with themselves: an inner conflict. He is truely a superb authour.

I really enjoy Edgar Allen Poe's dark tales as well. They are very crafty!

Another book I really remember well is Lord of the Flies. I'm not too keen on remembering the authour's name, but his theme of civilization and the demoralization of humanity is very vividly brought to life through that work.

Those are a few of my favourite authours and books that are introduced in a school environment.

[Redeyesblackdragon]

Ive had to many to say just one.

[TheOnly9one]

The Unknown Soldier.
An amazingly honest look at the Continuation War.

[Nova]

I kinda like MacBeth, Animal Farm, and The Diary of Anne Frank

[Blademaster Mai'kel]

The Giver was really good, imo :)
Yea. Definitely The Giver for me.

[Defame]

Lord of the Flies

Weird but interesting story

[Xioayugoth]

The best I was assigned has to be our novel this year; Noughts and Crosses.
I cried in the middle of class reading the ending...

[T A F F Y シ]

- Tuck Everlasting <3
- Room 13 ^^
- Around the World in 80 Days
- Les Miserables

:3

[Mehgahtraun]

MacBeth. It ties in to alot of real life actualities.

[Nova]

MacBeth. It ties in to alot of real life actualities.

Lulz- I was about to type that, then i saw yur post :D
Mine is Macbeth xD

[Keyblade Spirit]

This is kind of embarrassing, but my favorite school book was Great Expectations. It literally went into the backstory of every single character.
I honestly had no idea that Magwitch (Or how ever you spell it) would come back.

[What?]

The Call of the Wild by Jack London.

[Nova]

Animal Farm by George Orwell
