I will never understand some of the books they made me read in school. Usually we either ONE were not old enough to appreciate them or TWO they were so boring we couldn't get absorbed in them. However I love to read on my own terms. At the risk of getting picked on... I hated The Call of the Wild, Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mockingbird. But if they had given me a fantasy or sci-fi book or something about an alternate society I probably would have eaten it up.
