(May have been done before on the old board, but ...)

Stuff you had to read at school: which did you like, which did you hate, and why?

'King Lear' - Immense!

'Pardoner's Tale' (From 'Canterbury Tales') - gibberish to my adolescent eye. Favourite bit: "Filthy music from both ends".

'Paradise Lost' - Nah.

'Sons and Lovers' (DHL) - Vivid evocation of working class family life from someone who doesn't belong.

Wilfred Owen - Devastating.

'Candide' - Volta Voltaire!

'Die Physiker' (Dürrenmatt): My German was crap, so I didn't get much from this, but it seemed interesting.
