AP English 12 was actually what turned me on to literature. The notable ones I loved were Jane Eyre, The Stranger (favorite book), Waiting for Godot, Poisonwood Bible, and The Awakening. I fucking hated Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Rereading the Scarlet Letter as an adult really makes you realize how retarded you are as a kid. It's a really good book.

I wasn't forced to read anything in school. I couldn't read until I was 9, and I dropped out at 13, and during that four year period of literacy during which I was also receiving education, I picked my own literature.

Spoon River Anthology.

What really fucking sucked is that I didn't like Of Mice and Men when I had to read it in high school, but after high school I read The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden on my own, and they became two of my favorite books ever.
Similarly, another high school teacher had us read The Taming of the Shrew, which is easily one of the lesser Shakespeare plays, and later I read Julius Caesar and the major tragedies and really enjoyed them.
It's like English teachers intentionally try to teach us an author's shittiest work to make kids hate literature.

I think you're falsely equating "shitty" with "simple." Of Mice and Men and The Taming of the Shrew are fine.

Do they really teach Classical literature in Italian high schools? If so, I'm impressed.
Levi Cooper
Yes but classical education is an overrated meme and you're gay for falling for it
