Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about assigned reading…How did you react to assigned reading when you were in school/university/college/etc? How do you think on these books now? What book were you 'forced' to read when you where in school that you've since reread and loved?

I know this will come as a huge shock in face of my overwhelming awesomeness (hey, you in back, stop sniggering) but I was always a nerd in high school; I always looked forward to assigned reading - and usually enjoyed them when I got them.
Things were a little differnt once I got to uni, however. I think it was because it coincided with my 'discovery' of the public library. Why would I want to read Heart of Darkness or (ick) Voss, when I had a whole library of free choices to pick from? I did enjoy most of my readings but there was the occasional ones that stick out in my mind as real ordeals to get through. Heart of Darkness and Voss were the two biggest, but I wasn't a huge fan of In the Skin of a Lion, Loaded, On the Road or The Last of the Mohicans either.
I haven't really gone back and given any of these a second chance yet - I think I need a few years separation.
