idk what possessed me to take a literature class when reading for a grade was the one thing that would be the least likely to actually get me to read
#in highschool and beyond anyways#i will never forget my 8th grade english teacher assigning me a stack of books to read over my two (?) week trip to chile#it was either 2 weeks or 3 weeks i cant remember#bc we were gonna be reading the giver in class#but i already read the book#so she assigned me to read the next book in the series#and i cam back like a day later like i finished :( also btw im leaving on a trip do you have any work for me to do?#so she was like fine read the rest lf the series and the hunger games and the book thief#so that was like uhhh six? books?#i dont think i finished the last book of the hunger games before i came back actually#i think there were other books in the list she gave me im not shre but those ones i remember#and i came back like finished :)#hilarious of me ill never forget my teachers face when i told her i finished the second book of the giver series 😭#speaking of the giver i need to get those fucking books and reread them#i dont remember exactly what happened in the later books i just know it was devastating#i will also never forget when they made the whole school sit and watch the giver movie and i was sitting there fuming bc it was SO BAD#i was like I LITERALLY JUST READ THIS!!! THIS DOESNT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!#WHY ARE THEY SONOUT OF CHARACTER WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE#i think what made me not remember the rest of the books is that theeyre so far removed from like the first book?#like theres plot threads connecting the whole series together but the other books were like completely different from the first book#or something god dont listen to me i havent read those in an actual decade#michi tag
