Warning, it’s cracked, there’s profanity and stuff. I’ve long held the opinion that the way we teach English in schools, especially high schools, focuses way too much on books 99% of high school kids will hate, which thus primarily teaches them to hate reading. I’m for teaching kids to like reading, even if that means throwing a lot of pop culture pap at them, and trust that if you win that battle eventually they’ll read the classics when they’re old enough to actually understand and enjoy them.
