Inevitably, Shakespeare. I now think of this as a form of innoculation against the Bard. It was damn effective. 45 years later, I still hate Shakespeare. My school did a great job there!

One of the last books we studied was Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist. This was kind of interesting. Hated it at first, but with each class and each re-reading, it got more and more fascinating. I'm now happy to say that 'Ulysses' is the greatest novel ever (IMHO).
