I have to read this book for school, and I can't fucking stand it. So tell me /lit/, what is your official tactic for reading books you can't fucking bear.

inb4 stop reading.

Tell yourself that when you finally finish reading you get to throw it against the wall as hard as you can.

The Road is a pretty quick read so you should count yourself lucky.

It's not a long or dense book, just plough through it. Worst comes to the worst, torrent a cam of the movie and read up the cliffnotes on the book. I got an A in a test on Tom Sawyer's Schooldays doing that.

pretty much this. i'm not familiar with the book, but with the books i had to read during high school i basically looked up film adaptations that followed the book closely and then used sparknotes to supplement the films. i passed all of my tests easily.

however, i wouldn't recommend it. i cheated myself out of reading some great books that i went back and read after i started university.

I wish I could've studied The Road when I was in school, but it would've been impossible because I finished before it was actually written. ;/
