Yeah. I remember hating it when I was forced to read it in high school. I think the really slow pace of reading and the endless analysis kills pretty much anything. It was written in plain English, but so many people were complaining that it was difficult. I get that with foreign language stuff or stuff that may as well be in a foreign language like Shakespeare or James Joyce.
Anyway, I remember https://steemwhale.io/ was a dollar well spent. Not sure if it is still working, maybe it sleeps during winter, but it was a fun way to use STeem.
Yes, that and honestly I believe being forced to read something, especially during those naturally rebellious teen years, makes the material less likely to be enjoyed.
#flashback lol! I'd forgotten about #steemwhale!
