(Sorry to tl;dr, but I have Strong Opinions on this book and how I think it's done very dirty by forcing schoolkids to read it... Ditto Lord of the Flies, for that matter. D:)

Don't apologize. I like literary rants, even if I don't like the literature they're ranting about.

...And I have similarly strong feelings about Shakespeare, and how his work is also done dirty by school curricula.
