I don't remember a whole lot of the books I've had to read, but I remember reading Romeo and Juliet in high school and I STILL hate that play to this day. A class of kids giggling at "what ho!" might have had something to do with that. We also did the dumb "everyone reads a part" thing for a little bit and I grabbed at reading Mercutio because no one else could do that poo poo. If you laugh at "what ho" there's no way you can do Mercutio's speech about Mab, sorry. High school also exposed me to Hamlet and Othello but this was a different class and the teacher really engaged us in them. I still remember her saying that if you switched the two titular characters there would be no stories because Othello is a guy who acts when he should think and Hamlet is a guy who thinks when he should act. It was around this time that I realized Shakespeare wasn't really meant to be read anyway, as these were plays and even hearing them spoken was a major improvement. Same class had us read The Little Prince (okay but kinda eh on me) and Snow Falling on Cedars (which I really liked and still have my copy of).
