    I was in advanced English classes throughout high school, and even in those most people just read the Cliff Notes and regurgitated them. Meanwhile I read not only the assigned works but also on my own. And those assigned works were almost all things I hated reading.

    The worst part was when my teachers saw me reading a book for pleasure they would tell me it wasn’t “real” reading because apparently you have to hate what you’re reading for it to count.
