I hated every book I was forced to read at school. Partly because I was forced to read them and partly because they were pathetic mundane stories. I apologise to those that read and enjoy those kinds of novels, but for me it was torture. No blood, no monsters, no murders, no real peril. Just normal people doing normal things.
I have considered joining local book clubs. Then I think of the drivel I'd probably have to read and walk swiftly in the opposite direction.
