I didn't like most of the stuff I had to read in middle school, Westing Game I remember was one I liked, The Pearl is one I remember not liking (It was kind of boring, just went on and on and on.)
School also did three Shakespeare stories: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Henry IV part 1. I liked the Henry one, didn't like the other two. (Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet were pretty overdramatic, and people did a lot of things that didn't make sense.)
In high school:
Likes:
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Lottery (One I notice a lot of people like, it may be a good example in general for setting up and describing a story well.)
Henry IV (mentioned above)
Scarlet Letter
Huck Finn
Great Gatsby
Jane Eyre (I didn't like it that much while reading it, as it went on and on and on during some parts, but afterwards seemed much better, the characters were a lot better in it than other stuff to read in school.)
Dislikes:
Hamlet (mentioned above)
Antigone (Since all the characters knew what would happen, but just kind of made their decisions anyway, there wasn't really a way to get attached to the story, and it didn't have anything else in it to bring me in.)
Doll House (Henrik Ibsen)
A couple of "ethnic Identity" ones, that didn't have much of a story to them. (Which was kind of surprising, it seems that there would be more "minority" stuff out there with stories that have similar qualities to the other stuff we end up reading.)
The biggest problem with a good chunk of the stuff to read in english classes is that it's kind of soap operaish, in that they are about a small group of people with some sort of situation that would be quite easy to resolve if they took a step back and thought about it, but for some reason they don't, and instead a lot of drama happens.
