Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I was behind in my literature class in like, 7th grade. The books were boring as hell and I couldn't make myself read the chapters at night.

Our teacher gave us a list of bonus titles to catch up for like, 1.5x the points of a normal book, so I jumped on the first one on the list.

I don't remember the title of the book unfortunately, but about one or two chapters or so, the either the main character or their neighbor or something...

Gruesome

...snaps the head of their cat off while petting it

Proceeded to put the book down and hand it back into the teacher and ask for a different one. I don't think she was aware of the content of the book

Of Mice and Men? But I think it was a rabbit usually.

No, that was one of our main books. This was something pretty obscure, I've never seen anyone mention it and I don't really remember any more details than that off the top of my head
