It was the same for me (and probably I would be the same still... I don't think I liked the idea of someone choosing a book for me that EVERYONE had to read... feels impersonal!) but I decided to pick up some classics and revisit them! I understand better now WHY they "HAVE" to be read! But I think reading that when 15, today, is too soon!

You should read Carrie's book! I read it before it all happened and I felt very close to her... I went back to it a bit after she died and it sort of gave me comfort! The pages of her diary are so beautiful!
