How is your reductionist plot summary relevant to my question?

I hate it because I had to read it in my AP class.

Not sure if it's just me, but I immediately began to hate any book that a teacher made me read in high school. It's probably a good book, but I had prejudices against it when I had access to it, and by now it's not worth trying to affirm anything.

Quite honestly, I probably would never have heard about this book had it not been for that class.

How would you have not heard of it, it is considered one of the supreme masterpieces of American fiction.

You're right, I worded that incorrectly.

I don't think I would have looked into it, had it not been for that class, is what I'm trying to say.

read it for my second semester of First Year Writing and couldn't fucking stand it, but I have a bad relationship with Hawthorne anyway. The most interesting thing about it for me is the Custom House preface, everything else is just so terribly boring. It felt like it was moving in slow motion the whole time. Hawthorne honestly just doesn't do it for me.
