Reading for assignment is a chore, reading for pleasure is a joy.
I think you get caught up in the feeling that "this needs to be done" that you don't really get to get into the book.
- abecedarius 8y agoYep. A couple times in high school I refused to read an assigned book that I didn't want to ruin for myself. (Pride and Prejudice and Moby-Dick. Came back to them years later and still think I scheduled them correctly.) I guess the difference from some others which I actually enjoyed reading for school (Othello, Alice in Wonderland) was the ratio of effort to pulpish I-want-to-read-the-next-page quality.
