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).

It does take the fun out of reading. (and when teachers make you take notes or fill out a packet along the way/have quizzes & tests on insignificant portions of the book) Eh, I'll call it the theme, but that definition works too. Well, what else are we suppose to do with it? I actually like Socratic seminars. They're really fun. It helps me understand the book better (especially if I didn't read it!) & it's better than doing packets/taking tests, because there's not really a right or wrong answer; it's a matter of opinion, supported by facts from the book.
