    Is no one going to say they don’t have this experience? I can’t remember a single short story I read in any English or literature class ever. I can barely remember any of the books I was forced to read. On the contrary I can remember numerous books I was not forced to read, like Hitchhikers guide.

      I remember a few snippets. Hatchet in fifth grade. The outsiders at some point. High school English is mostly blank until senio year at a new school. We did a whole thing on middle English and Chaucer which is probably why I remember.

      I remember getting yelled at in year 8 for reading a year 11 book (To Kill A Mockingbird), that’s all. The book they wanted me to read was boring and I have no idea what it was called.
