I'm in the UK - do you all have to read it in school in the US too?

That's the problem with Shakespeare - children are "force fed" him in school, and put off for life. Shakespeare did not write for children.
My advice would be to go and see a really good production of one of his "lighter" comedies - "As you like it" or "A comedy of errors", perhaps. I think you'll quickly change your mind about him.
