In our Catholic school Eighth Grade class we had a lay teacher named Miss Jane. She turned us on to A Separete Peace. I had read other serious works of literature on my own but to have her walk us through the book, talk about the world at that time was really amazing.

I was assigned that book three times in five years. Hated it.

The only thing worse than Salinger was Joyce. (We also read tons of Steinbeck and all of it was awful).

Ugh, Joyce. We just tried to read Ulysses as a team and we still can’t get through it.

We didn't do Joyce and I've never read any to this day. I should get to it at some point.

It’s just not my cup of tea. Lots of folks love it of course.

I think I'm not one for modernist lit, given how I reacted to "The Wasteland" thirty years after "To the Lighthouse" repulsed me.

I never read any Austen, but the spate of 1990s films & miniseries from her work was perfectly timed for the age when my wife & I could go to grownup movies.
