I did read The Brothers Karamazov in English class. Not a lit class. Just regular English. It was not a book that should have been read for that class. Many books read for English class are inappropriate because the kids reading them just cannot relate to them. The style is sometime very dated. The pacing just slow and the story has nothing to do with anything the kids know. This gets worse every year.
