I know that sometimes the books we get assigned to read in school can be boring. However, I've found some interesting reads, and I'm interested in knowing what everyone's favorite (or least hated) book from school is. Mine was "The Outsiders".

While some people are more into watching films or TV, I am more into reading. When I was starting to learn German, I was hesitant to read any German books.
