Day 10 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving



Hmm.  I'm going to have to say none. I read for pleasure, so I have almost no reason to read any book that I think I won't like.

I'm sure in school there must have been some, but then I really can't remember any that fit in that category there either.

Hi. Saw your post in latest things, and couldn't resist.

Like you, I read for pleasure. But if I go way back to high school, I had an English teacher who wanted to expose us to Great Literature. I learned to hate the phrase, "It's a Classic!" I disliked every book on the list, with the exception of The Scarlet Pimpernel, by Baroness Orczy. I enjoyed that one so much that I still have a copy on my bookshelves.
