I remember hating to be told that I HAD to read something back in school. Nothing chased me away from a book faster. Me too! If it was worth reading then 99% of the time I had already read it years before, and if I HADN'T already read it then it was probably 'cause I didn't like the author's stuff. For an example of my usual opinion of many of the classics, please see Mark Twain re 'Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses' (grin)
One thing I like about the Kindle is all the books available for under a $1 or free. I had no idea it was so cheap! This is what I'll want for Christmas....
Thanks for starting this thread, it's always fun to talk about books.
