I remember more short-stories than books, but I do remember having to read Hawthorne's House of the Seven Gables in High School. I don't remember any feelings about it one way or another. I do remember Shakespeare being a welcome relief from the typical literary fare we were fed, though.
I was a voracious reader of fiction during my years in school, so I was able to easily separate my personal reading from my "school" reading. Perhaps that's why I can't really remember very many specific titles from my academic youth. I merely absorbed enough to get a decent grade on the tests/reports and then hurried back to the reading I was invested in. No harm, no foul.
