Grass and Sky

To a certain extent, I agree with you. For the most part, the books that I bolded because I read them in school were books that I didn't actually like (Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, etc). On the other hand, there were books that I read because they were required reading for English lit classes in college that I liked at least somewhat, like Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. And on the other, other hand (I know, I need more hands) there are books like Pride and Prejudice, and Catcher in the Rye, that my older sibs had to read in school, that I went ahead and read because I figured I'd be asked to at some point and then I'd be ahead of the game, and then I really liked them (and then was never actually asked to read them in school - go figure). So maybe, instead of only counting the ones you read on your own, put an asterick next to the ones you actually enjoyed, or read for leisure, not for school, or something like that.
