Literally any book that you now dislike due to school. This also applies to other literature styles as well.
Mine is The Hunger Games. I had to read it las year in school and it drove me insane. We started doing the novel study in early February and didn’t finish until May. I finished the book in less than two weeks, so I was pretty much just reading personal books all through English class for close to two months.
It’s not even like we had to analyze it super intensely. It was projects like ‘Make a playlist for a character of your choice’ and we had vocabulary tests every week, that were a joke. It was multiple choice for words like quest and forage. I know that English wasn’t everyone’s first language but come on.
I didn’t even like the book that much in the first place, so all of this was just adding to the misery.

No, I like reading. If I didn’t like a book then I wouldn’t have liked it outside of school either.
I’m kind of wondering about your class, though, was this like middle school? Are you in an ESL class? What’s going on that you need vocab tests for Hunger Games?
Cold Sassy Tree was my no go book. I also read my own books as we read it and did an art project drawing the main character. Ugh.
If I have to read Lord of the Flies one more time… I think I read that book once a year from about the seventh grade till graduation. I felt like some teachers assigned it simply to have something to do without much thought. It’s a great book, but I can’t read it anymore.
