and I read BNW on my own time, not for school.

Precisely. You were a reader.

The kid who doesn't like reading and doesn't read for fun probably won't get into Brave New World without something a little more accessible before it. Nonreader kid is more likely to like an easier dystopia like The Giver or Animal Farm or, hell, Hunger Games. Or start them with a meaty graphic novel. You don't start a kid who doesn't like to read with something that even a lot of bookworms find boring. And I'm saying that as someone who loved Brave New World (guess what? I was a bookworm).

OT- i love BNW, too. I remember reading it three or four times in ...sixth grade? Or seventh? Can't recall. Anyway - yes. I was making up fic in my head where it *didn't* end the way it ended.
