It makes me want to cry when I saw on [livejournal.com profile] bookfails  that so many of the books I loved were loathed by posters. I think it's because of the mandatory reading lists (after all, this was the "Required Reading List" hate week, so there was lots). Books that like Gone With The Wind (Mitchell is brilliant, end of story), The Great Gatsby (absolutely despairing, but beautifully so), To Kill a Mockingbird (you think it's dated? Hello?!), The Mayor of Casterbridge (!). I despair for the way they teach English...
