Overall, the fact that I had to read these meant that I didn't really think about whether I liked them until at least some time after college. I was a good student, which meant I did my homework. Mostly, now I judge my like/dislike by how much I remember and whether the book elicited an emotional response.

All these were 9th grade. I liked most of the stuff

To Kill a Mockingbird (I liked it) and Romeo and Juliet (I liked it) Some Greek mythology. I loved Greek mythology when I was younger, so there wasn't much new to me.

Lord of the Flies. I remember a decent amount of this.

Great Expectations-Mrs Haverham(sp?) is very memorable. The very ending, epilogue type thing, stuck with me.

These were 10th grade(the only Honors English I took):

Julius Caesar-I remember several points of this. Mostly, I remember reciting the "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech outside the cafeteria. It was either that, or recite a much longer portion just to the teacher. I'm shy, so it wasn't fun. It was good to be pushed out of my comfort zone, though. At some point in the speech, I even decided to try having fun with it by putting emotion into the speech. Basically, acting.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-Some of the sex stuff was memorable(not in a porn kind of way), though I've kind of forgotten the details by now. I remember realizing where "on the rag" came from.

Exodus by Uris-Barely remember the basic plot. I think it was about the creation of Israel.

Gone with the Wind-I think I cried when the daughter died.

As a twelfth grader, I remember reading books that I knew were way below my reading level. I should've been in honors, but 10th grade was heavy on the essay writing. I didn't like rewriting. Since this was before so many people had computers, rewriting meant actually writing again. Also, Gone with the Wind was 1000 pages. So, 11th and 12th grade I took regular English.

A book written in the same universe as The Outsiders. The way the acid fried the kid's brain was memorable.

Don't remember the year:

The Great Gatsby-I really liked a couple of scenes from it. One was where the girlfriend talked about how she didn't need to drive carefully because other people can do that. Then hit someone.

Hamlet and Macbeth. I remember the basic plots and a few scenes, but that's it.

In college, I read Jane Eyre and a book about a someone going west in the Wild West days. I know he in the epilogue, he became a railroad tycoon. I didn't like Jane Eyre. Between that, Dracula, and maybe another Victorian Era novel, I've decided that they just seem way too concerned with etiquette for me.
