lol'd irl.

this. nothing built such disdain for great literature like high school english class. I remember hating both Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird in HS, but when I actually read them again on my own, loved both.

truuue statement. read scarlet letter, dubliners, grapes of wrath, mockingbird, and others in HS. barely finished any and hated them all. at the time..

dubliners i still hate. scarlet letter i haven't gone back to read.

but grapes and mockingbird became some of my favorite books after revisiting them on my own terms. things are weird like that. i also hated science and history throughout all of school. they are now just about the only things that interest me..

that's how a lot of school was for me until junior year of college tbh. I enjoyed learning, but there was a big disconnect between that and my time in class. I used to hate science and math, but the last two years of college I had as many physics and finance classes as I did english. growing up, I guess.

are any of you on goodreads.com? @dead man @Vulgar @Certain @Totoro

Na wat is that?

Nah.

register on it. it's a web site where you track your reading and read/write reviews and shit, like social media based around books. I like it.

I have an account. I never use it, though.

I don't interact with people on it, but I use it to find books and read reviews. Pretty handy.
