I honestly think at least two years of high school literature is designed to beat the love of reading out of teens. The curriculum is full of tedious hateful bullshit.
Accurate, though also we just studied a lot of old miserable works in high school? Almost all works from the 1800s or earlier where everyone is horrible to each other, plus Shakespeare and Chaucer, which almost aren’t the same language we speak today.
Nearly anything thrown at me in school. If I hadn’t loved books already, I would have given up on reading after the shit they forced on us.
