This.
My own personal nightmare of assigned reading? Watership Down. I have never endured such a tedious, pointless novel which was so badly in need of being edited down. Seriously, you could throw away 300 of those pages and it would make no difference to the story. It was like having every hair on my head slowly ripped out, one by one. Painful, but simultaneously so tortuously boring that it drove me to near-insanity before the pain even registered.
