And then they wonder why (young) adults have no interest in reading. I was lucky to grow up with a mother who reads a lot for fun and always let me choose whatever I wanted to read (it really upset the librarians that she allowed me to read Stephen King's It in English when I was only 13). If you never get in contact with books you like the ones the schools want you to read are not exactly encouraging.
