King of Bullshit
Back when you were a little terror (years seven, eight, nine, and probably ten) - or if you still are, did you find the books the school set out really pathetic.
By the time I was in year six I was reading adult novels, and I'm talking the likes of Tom Clancy (but I don't think I'd discovered him by then). When I was younger I read the usual assortment such as Treasure island.
But anyway, in Year 7 I was prescribed a book which was made for an age group I skipped entirely. I basically went from those cool books (with the gold and black spines - some of them about Bugs Bunny), to full on adult novels.
So I get these books which are way below my level, and I blow through in an hour or so, completely bored usually. Though it did make English the biggest breeze.
Anyone else have this problem? Found the books in the early years of high school below your level?
One amendment: To Kill A Mockingbird was good - nearly forget about that.
