I. Hate. The Scarlet Letter. We're talking to the extent you hate Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Absolutely hated, hated, HATED that book. (And it was coupled with The Crucible in 11th grade lit, FML.) Canterbury Tales was fun to read in 12th grade lit. I really liked it. And I go through A Knight's Tale and pick out all of the people from Canterbury Tales and giggle.

I vaguely remember reading The Wind in the Willows back when I was in 8th grade and sick as a dog. I do recall enjoying it. (Though this was also the year I read Watership Down, so if you hate That Book About Bunnies, you may not like it.)
