We had to read Catcher in the Rye by D.J. Salinger, and I thought it was anarchistic rubbish. And they insisted that we should LIKE it, we all had to write about what aspects of the lead character we indentified with. It might be a fine novel in some ways, but I did not like it, and resented having it pushed.

The Great Gatsby. God, that book was horrific. The most amazingly dull and unreadable piece of tripe I ever had to refuse to finish reading. Even the Cliffnotes were unbearable.
Catcher in the Rye was probably the lousiest of the books I did actually manage to get through.
Animal Farm, 1984 were the best books I was assigned.
