What’s the oddest book you’ve ever read? Did you like it? Hate it? Did it make you think?
The best of times, the worst of times: being forced to read a book. I hated Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities; it was the 10th grade English teacher, Mrs. Miller, that caused this reaction. In the ninth grade, we read and adored David Copperfield, thanks to Mrs. Walker's presentation.
For voluntarily read books (not as a class requisite), the early Stephen King books take the cake!

lol funny. its always those books from high school.
I read some really good books in H.S. I don't remember any of them as being "odd" but maybe that's because i was a book nerd! :)

Great picks - King was mine too! :)
Yes, Stephen King is definitely odd, but great :)

I totally agree that those forced-to-read school books all depend on the teacher. That said the one I truly despised reading and never finished (The Time Machine) and the one I loved and still reread now (The Handmaid's Tale) were taught by the same person.
My BTT is here if you'd like a look :)
I agree with the King books.

I love reading Stephen King. He is strange but good. I also enjoyed A Tale of Two Cities. I am a bit of a revolutionary.
I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy this. I have to admit it- I love Dickens!
