Has school ever affected how you feel about reading?

It seems like most of us had a negative experience with books while in school (at any level). We wrote a post about this topic on our blog: http://www.tumblingbooks.com/2012/05/25/thoughts-on-how-education-r...

I'd love to hear opinions about the topic and maybe experiences that you guys have had. =)

Well, yes, I can relate to that, considering I am still in school. I think the books they give us are "quality" to them and "incorrect" to us. You are correct, unless people find books they like as opposed to the standards, getting people at this age to like reading is very difficult. It is hard to explain, but my review of Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton should describe my thoughts:
