That makes a lot of sense, in theory.
If you are like me, the books you were assigned in school were widely held in high regard. You probably didn't enjoy them much as a student because you were forced to read them and pass a test about them (not pleasant experiences!).
The lighter books may have hit the spot for you at the time, but you have changed over the years, and the ship has sailed.
