If I wasn't already into reading for pleasure, school could easily have turned me off from reading. Chaucer and Shakespeare really not good to make kids read.

This is your opinion, it does not hold true for everyone. I truly think it says more about your teacher than about the works. Both of my children enjoy Shakespeare, with A Midsummer Night's Dream being one of my son's favorite books. He was first introduced to it when he was 13 or so, he's 24 now, and he's read it 4 or 5 times now.
