Yeah, I'd agree that maths is up there for things that need to be messed with. Might be curricular differences, but in our school system at least up until 9th grade we have little to no choice over what we do. I quite like this for a variety of reasons, the most relevant being that it allows...
As someone who enjoys maths far more than they probably should, I never really saw it as useless. On the other hand, I know plenty of people who didn't get it or just didn't find it useful in any way. To be honest, you could say the same about most compulsory subjects, one off the top of my head...
I start too many things at once for writing to be anything more than a hobby, but I enjoy it enough to try to practice at least. I try to keep things I enjoy as a hobby in general, because without expending enough energy into discipline I burn out quickly. In other words, I'm too lazy ;)
Hm. I guess my favourite stories would have to be the ones I don't easily forget, because those are the stories that had an effect outside of the time it took to discover them, and the ones I'll keep coming back to. So that probably leads to the following list.
