I hated Shakespeare. I thought it was heavy, the words where just awful and then on top of that all the dissecting that the teachers made us do. It just wasn't fun.
The way I look at it, English class is turning a lot of would-be readers in;t won't-be readers. I was a reader before English class. So that never put me off reading. What it did put me off was reading "classics". To this day, I find a lot of classics to be overblown and not modern enough for kids of today.
