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

I was lucky not to have any British "classics" forced on me at all, and have been able to discover them all on my own. Still don't like to
read Shakespeare, but I enjoy some of the plays in the theatre or in film (seems odd to read a play as if it was a book).
On the other hand, being force-fed Danish classics in school definitely ruined them for me (or me for them?). It's only as an adult I've tentatively revisited a few and found them (surprisingly?) quite good, especially
Herman Bang.
