I think most people who comment on how boring that book is to them, hated it because they had to read it for school and then write about it. - They had no choice in that matter.
Being forced to read a book can make you biased against it before oyu even start reading it.
I like to read a lot and have read "Brave new World" and other dystopian books because I wanted to. (My favourite being Fahrenheit 451, btw.)- But I remeber that when I still was at school and had to read books just because the teacher thought they where important or interesting I quite often did not manage to get as interested in them as I got in the books I read because I chose to read them.
Is it normal to be legitimatly confused when reading Brave New World??
