Bookish Musings: What Were Your Favorite and Least Favorite Required Reading Books?

Bookish Musings: What Were Your Favorite and Least Favorite Required Reading Books?

I think we can all agree that we love reading novels. And part of school is having to read novels. So it seems like that would awesome for us bookworms, right? Well, no.

I think most of them just weren't to my reading tastes, but I do wonder if I might've...

I was that person. I have...
