I have no interest in reading the book... because of exactly this: I had to read sophomore year of highschool, it was boring, left me with no desire to read it. And I could never understand why my teacher loved it so much.
- douche 10y agoLike most supposed "classics"of english literature that high school students are saddled with, it's largely a steaming pile, particularly if you are coerced into attempting to find meaning in it as a raw fifteen-year-old. I'm not sure it's any good, rereading it now in my late 20s, to be honest. It's hard to find anything from my HS AP literature course that I'd use for anything but tinder these days.
