I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

The only book I loved reading for school was Das Versprechen by Dürrenmatt. At the time I didn't go to school very often, so that might have helped. Schools have a tendency to kill all excitement one might have for a topic.

The book also has a pretty good movie with Jack Nicholson.
