I feel being forced to read a book ruins it Mark Send a noteboard - 10/09/2009 01:06:42 PM
People will always dislike being made to do anything, particularly if it has to do with school. Even if you do get a book you like, you spend so long analysing it and doing homework about it that all the joy is drained from the work.

You cannot kill a vampire with an MDF stake; werewolves can't fly; zombies do not run. - Simon Pegg
