im older so forgive me, Forced to read “Classics” in early high school. Anything John Steinbeck , that awful Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, that Mill on the River whatever by whoever that was. I am a reader. I devour books but these were destroyed for me.
Our mandatory reading in high school Literature and English. Steinbeck and Orwell, and other older English authors aren’t really great for 12 to 14 year olds.
Edward Rutherford books on London and Russia.
Yeh I can read a book in a day. Screw housework garden and cooking. If I’m in the zone im in.
Sometimes I’m still reading at 1.00 in the morning. Husband yells at me. I say but I neeed to know how it ends.
I reread my favs a few times.
