Schools infrequently choose books that kids WANT to read. But over time peoples tastes change. I had to read Pride and Prejudice in school. Hated it. Now I love it and have the DVD. I have no idea what books are being touted nowadays. I’m probably better off for it though.

Yeah well, they made us read Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet and MacBeth back in high school. And I must say I much more greatly appreciate them now in my old age than I did as a teenager.

I liked plenty of the books that were on the school reading list. But Cooper was simply too much for 9th graders. It was a horrible slog. David Copperfield and Silas Marner were no problem.
