The best book I had to read was probably Killer's Tears, which was about this murderer who killed this boy's parents and then sort of kidnapped him, but they had this really cute father/son-like relationship. The boy had, like, no emotion, so he didn't care that his parents were killed. In the end, the killer was either put in jail or put to death, but he ended up really caring about the boy, and the boy him. It's tragic, but nice.

I hated The Great Gatsby and ohmygod, Passage to India. Shoot me in the leg, but don't make me read that again. Oh my gosh.

Of Mice and Men was another we had to read, and it was okay, but not that great. I disliked all Shakespeare (especially Romeo and Juliet) except Hamlet, since The Lion King is totally Hamlet with animals.
