    Why is that trolling? At least 5 but cover to cover. Like that i read all of it, not just like parts and the back cover.

    I skimmed many books, well over 10.

    I dont get why some people have a hard time believing some people find reading boring?

    I stand by everything in the prior post.

      I can’t imagine a school that would teach only 5 literature books, my kids did more than that EACH year and even the terrible incomplete education I got in K-12 here when we were the bottom of the barrel state in the bottom of the barrel nation in terms of education involved more than 5 books a year.

      My kid who dislikes reading and wants to go into trades, even that kid has read more than 5 books voluntarily outside of school, and certainly more than 60 in the course of their education so far. I can’t imagine all of them being boring - I read some of them too, if my kids recommended them to me - Brodek’s Report was one I remember reading after my kid had to buy it for school, it was so good.

      I just thought your " I read books, five of them at least" had to be a joke. If my kids here in the state of Florida have to do more, I can’t imagine any educational system requiring only a few.

        They required a lot more, probably hundreds. Very few I read cover to cover. Reading is boring to me. I have no reason to waste my tike on things I find boring or increase my sufferring level. I probably skimmed briefly and read the back cover of hundreds of books.
