What's the most boring book they've made you read in school?

Personally, I'd have to say Don Quijote is a lame ass boring book. I didn't even finish reading it because it bored me to death.

I've heard other people tell me 'Moby Dick' is painfuil to read.

"As I Lay Dying", or, as we called it, As I Die Reading.....

Good God. I don't know what was worse...the book, or the two weeks we spent dissecting every fucking minute detail of it.

Sheer torture.

I never read the boring stuff. That's what Cliff's notes are for..;-)

Treasure Island, twice. Or maybe it was the repetition that sucked...

Anything Dickens made me want to die. Boring garbage.

Bleak House and as I recall it was like 500 or more pages, in College. So bad i can't even remember who wrote it....

...tied with Ernest Hemingway's ''The Old Man And The Sea''

snooze.....

Once I was forced to read "The Third Man" when I was in a high school. Of course, I already heard that it was filmed around the middle of 20th century and was famous among the movies fans as one of the masterpieces. But I soon got bored at that time, I don't remember why...if I read this now, I may not feel it's boring...

The turbulent term of Tyke Tyler and the Dragon in the Garden.

Sooooooooooooo bad

I've only read a few parts of Don Quixote when I used to take Spanish.

Well, I guess I'm going to have to say The Iliad.

"Using of "shall, will" in English language" chapter in "English language for the schools" book.

Persuasion by Jane Austen. I never managed to finish it. I don't know what the big deal with her is, but everyone except me seems to love her. Far as I can tell, the best thing about her canon is Colin Firth as Mr Darcy :-)

Amen. I'm more of a Sparknotes kind of guy, though. Anyway, I read Catcher in the Rye and almost died. That is one silly, stupid book.

"Jump Ship to Freedom"

Angels in America, too; it is the quintessential "What the fuck?" read.

I haven't actually started the book in class yet, but if "Tuesdays With Morrie" is anything like the movie... *shudder*
