Top Ten Tuesday is an original
feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each
week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the
Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s
Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I Was Forced to
Read (either by teachers, friends, other
bloggers, reviews)
So alot of these books were what I
had to read for school, I had no other choice but to read them.
I actually could not get to 10 as I have not really
been forced to read anything expect for school required
book. These are in no particular order;
1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin: I was forced to read Pride and Prejudice this
year, for my English Literature class and I hate to say this but I just don’t
like it. I find that I cannot connect with Classical book so it’s hard for me
to enjoy it and I also dislike Mr Darcy *hides away in a corner*
2. Othello by William Shakespeare: This again is what I had to read this year for
my English Literature Class. I just did not like this as it was hard to understand
as it is in modern English
3. MacBeth by William Shakespeare: I was assigned to readthis last year for English and for a 15
year this is hard to read. To say I didn’t like it would be an understatement. As
said before as it was not in modern English it was hard for me to grasp.
4. Into White Silence by Anthony Eaton : I had to read this last year for English and I have
no idea why they picked this book. It is soooo boring and I think I read about
5 chapters and stopped I could not read anymore. Still managed to get an A+ for
my Essay on it but.
5. Frankenstein by Mary Shelly (adapted byPhillip Pullman): I actually quite
enjoyed this book. It was
understandable. I actually liked reading it and I think that’s because I like
the gothic, dark kind of novels.
6. Tomorrow when the War began by John Marsden:So This I read 2
years ago the same year the movie come out. I wanted to read it before I
watched the movie because the trailer looked awesome and guess what it was on
my book list. I really enjoyed this book and went on to read the rest of the
series.
7. The
Gathering by Isobelle
Carmody: I had to read
this when I was in year 8 in high school, that was about 3 /4 years ago. I just
did not enjoy it. I found it very wired and boring.
So these are the only
book I was able to come up with. As I said before I only really read book I want
to read, as these book were required by school I had to read them.
What do you think about my list?
What is on your list?
I never read any of these, we barely even mentioned them in school. I plan to at least get to Austen's books someday.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
My TTT
I have no idea why we read some of these. I have to read another Jane Austin next year haha.
DeleteI love Shakespeare so I am sad that you didn't enjoy them. However I agree on Pride and Prejudice. I cannot get into Jane Austen.

I don't really know why i don't like it. I think the main reason it's hard to connect to characters and to the story, and i really can't read books that i can't form some sort of connection to.
DeleteYeahh someone that also can't get into Austin's books ahah.
