Alice Dryden: Most of the books I HAD to read were a bit tainted for me by the experience, which is why I'm glad I wasn't in the class that did To Kill a Mockingbird and came to it by myself later.

  This post makes me want to know if there is one book they read in high school English class that they especially enjoyed? For me, it would be Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Master And Margarita' (If we're including plays, then it is Amiri Baraka's 'A Black Mass')

I enjoyed The Moonstone, but I’d rather have taken my time with it rather than reading to a deadline.

I remember dreading Lord of the Flies as I'd already read it and disliked it, but I mellowed on it as a class read.
