The Poisonwood Bible is a good novel but it's so sad I can barely read it. Adah Adah I am Adah with my malformed brain. I feel Adah's pain because it's mine. I need to stop reading but I can't because it's for school. Adah Adah Aspie Adah with my malformed brain, unloved in Africa, dragging one side behind her and considered a curse on her family. Autistic half-brained Adah Pickwick. It hurts Christian Adah Pickwick to read about a Nathan Price twisting the Bible as he does to hurt his family. Adah is a freak like me. Adah Pickwick Adah Adah Adah with my malformed brain it hurts it hurts every word like broken glass absurd stream-of-consciousness ramblings I am sorry for but cannot help because they come from the heart. Adah.

I hate to read something that will put you in bad mood.

make your own version! think of it as a musical or something absurd, for example that he is singing to his brain :P

I could not STAND "The Mill on the Floss" but we had to read it. . and "The Turn of the Screw" I HATED it, but it was manditory and just between you and me I could NOT understand "The Catcher in the Rye" because I had no idea what a 'prep' school was or what this guy was doing home when his folks weren't there.

There is a difference between a book that is bad and one that is painful. Huckleberry Fin was a bad (aesthetic torture) book I had to read. The Poisonwood Bible is painful, as in soul torture.

Everybody winds up reading something in school they don't like. I had to read some of the most Godawful poetry, which gave me a permanent antipathy for it. You have an insight into the characters that the other students lack. Maybe you can explore how it feels, and use that. Maybe it can help you with things as well.
