Re: Literature

[(Anonymous)]

I'll be honest, "literature" became a lot more interesting to me when I could take what I read at face value instead of having to worry about whether a character wearing red socks represented blood on his hands or whatever. Not to mention being able to quit reading a book I hated without having to worry about grades.

Haha, this is probably true. w2g, high school, for making me hate all the books you tried shoving down my throat!

Like I've said upthread, I would probably read something that somebody recced me and told me was really fun and interesting, but given my own choice, I'm making a bee-line for the genre fiction. I feel like I'm less likely to "strike out" with books in that section than books in the literature section.

Re: Literature

I had a similar attitude as OP for the first few years after high school precisely because of what and how I had to read for four years. It didn't help that my school had a small group of pretentious students who thought they were better than everyone because they exclusively read literature for fun. Every teacher in the English department fawned all over them, which just made those students even more insufferable.

I've since gone back and read many of the literature staples of high school that I never personally had to read and found some to be very good, some to be even worse than I suspected when I was younger, and some just kinda meh. Being able to set down anything I didn't like and move onto something else was liberating. I also got a lot more out of reading them for myself than anything I had to read in school because I didn't feel like someone was beating me over the head with A Moral.
