I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

best was definately the wizard of earthsea. An interesting bit is I hated romeo and juliet and would complain about it in comparison to macbeth. After college though I substitute taught a bit and had a class doing romeo and juliet and it was kinda funny how I could appreciate the literary analysis at that point.
