  • How does that help teen literacy?

    We shouldn’t be pushing great literature on teens. They lack the life experience to even appreciate it. They mark it down as “read” and then it’s off their list for life. All we do by pushing crap teenagers don’t get and therefore don’t like on teens is to inoculate them from great fiction. Let them read whatever they like.

    The timeless stuff doesn’t become apparent as such until one’s thirties anyway.
