        @BretEastonEllis @JasonStarrBooks I'm not sure it should be 'taught'. It's a brilliant complexity that curious people should wander into...

        @BretEastonEllis Agreed. No one should read until they are 25. I learned the hard way. Wait till you get to Esther's Otherworldly Voice.

        @BretEastonEllis Same reason they tried to teach my silly ass The Scarlet Letter at 16. Hated it. Read it at 32. Loved it.

        @BretEastonEllis it's stupid. They made us read 'Madame Bovary' when we were 14 in French high school. Fortunately I rediscovered it later.

        @Hadrovich @BretEastonEllis I read it at a young age, about 21. He reveals new things when you return to him. Book 2 is great, 3 a slog

        @BretEastonEllis school ruins a lot of great works. My generation hated Shakespeare, largely because of how it was thrust on us.
