I think I may be the only person here who never had to read this book. Went to public school in the 90's and early 2000's, too. *shrug*Seems like I dodged a bullet.
I didn't have to read it either. We read Animal Farm and SE Hinton books around that time (I was in Oklahoma at the time). I really don't have any interest in reading it either. Or seeing a movie.
Plus, there ain't no pictures, so its got that going for it...

My summer school in Honolulu was at Punahou School, the private high school that Obama graduated from in 1979. I just missed him by a month.
I live about two blocks from Punahou. Small world! I pass it every day on the way home.
My 8th grade English teacher put us through the ringer by having us read all the heavy duty dystopias one after another: Brave New World, 1984, Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm. It was kind of a depressing semester but I was by far the most upset by LOTF. I still have a vivid memory of reading Piggy’s death and wanting to throw the book down. I don’t think I’d be seeing this girls or boys.
Ooooooooooooo! People are posting to this thread again! I get to complain about the book more!
