How did you react to assigned reading when you were in school/university/college/etc? How do you think on these books now? What book were you 'forced' to read when you where in school that you've since reread and loved?In my senior secondary English, I had to read Far From the Madding Crowd, Great Expectations, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, Wuthering Heights, The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet amongst others. Frankly I found those very interesting.
Except for The Barretts of Wimpole Street, I had read all, Soi in a way, those were rereads in my senior secondary/college. No way, I found those books daunting. In college, I had to study Arthur Miller's All my Sons. Come to think of it, I hated it. However after a long time I read The Crucible and Death of a Salesman, which brought me back to All My Sons. I appreciated it then.Wuthering Heights still remains of my all time favourite books. I liked the character of Heathcliff. He is one of the best anti-heroes of all times.
