Oh man, I hated so much of what I had to read in high school (Don't even get me started on having to compare Julius Caesar/A Separate Peace/Animal Farm for a paper), but I think The Scarlet Letter was my all-time least favorite. It's like, "look, dude, we know you think you're high and mighty, but you still had sex with the woman that is supposedly 'bad,' you know."

After hearing Hester referred to as a "succubus" for the millionth time, I was pretty ready to stage a coup in my lit class.
