Not if you actually have good literature teachers who take the time to teach you why a particular novel is significant. If you regard symbolism and literary devices as you read, it becomes more understandble that a book should be so highly regarded, because in fact, good authors did actually put more effort into giving their literature deeper meanings. Besides which, you shouldn't judge whether or not a book is boring by the first chapter. but I don't mean to bitch at you.

I read this book and liked it (it reminded me of some of my favorite cliche love stories). I hate doing that in english class. I think it takes the fun out of reading. It makes me think we're dissecting the book apart and reducing the whole story into a bunch of statements that make the book sound extremely dull (which we do alot of in english honors).
