What's the non-school assigned book you remember reading all the way through?

[Unicorn Fairie]

I'd have to say the CIA World Factbook that was in the back of my economics class.

like most of them. wtf is this question lol
do you not read books unless a middle aged woman in school tells you to, or do you read only a small part and stop cuz the enjoyment is too much, or does reading induce a stupor so you forget everything you read? or whats going on

ill name a clockwork orange as being extra memorable, the nadsat language is pretty cool in writing and its just as much of a quality time as the movie

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Some, but I forgot the names and bulk of the contents of each one, so I may as well have read none.

I read plenty of books outside of the ones assigned at school. I enjoy reading, I’m not a nigger.

Oldest one I can remember reading (that weren’t those little ten page picture books for very young children) is probably The Chronicles of Narnia when I was around 6 or 7.

 

[Just A Fat Round Bird]

Most recent one? Probably Barr/Wells "Category Theory for Computing Sciences" and the sequel "Toposes, Triples and Theories", though I haven't finished that one yet.
Or were we talking about fiction here?

 

[Dicksmash Turbofist]

The Bible. Good book, would read again.

My mom bought me a set of encyclopedia when I was a kid that I spent a lot of time reading. I think the earliest novel I can remember reading is the secret garden.

 

[TroonsDid911]

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Crime and Punishment
The Brothers Karamazov
Sun in a Bottle
Proofiness: The Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception (very good read, red pilled me at a young age and innoculated me from blindly trusting "the science")

 

[Not a bee]

Way too much. I was a fucking nerd. I was rightfully bullied.

Two stand out as particularly notable. I hated Billy Budd with a passion. But In Watermelon Sugar was pretty interesting.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

I'm gonna take a guess and assume you meant "non-school assigned book that you read while you were still in school."
A few stand out:
Bud, Not Buddy was a favorite of mine in elementary school, takes place during The Great Depression, it's about a black orphan trying to reconnect with a jazz musician he believes to be his father.

Watership Down was another one I read in like fifth grade, my dad told me it was a great story about rabbits, and I mean he was right but he could've gone into a little more detail cuz oooh boy does it go places, I never forget that book.

And of course my GOAT, Dune, fantastic book and if you only ever watched the movies (new or old) you're missing out. There's a reason it's a sci-fi classic.

 

[Fat Gollum]

I didn't even read books that my teachers assigned me.
