I ignored books my entire life because I've always been forced to read books I simply don't enjoy.
I couldn't give less of a shit about classics like Catcher in the Rye and Tom Sawyer. I had to force myself to finish them.
A few years ago someone introduced me to PKD and after reading a few of his novels I realized that my indifference towards reading was based on me being fed books I didn't care about. Since then I've gone through a couple dozen books, most of them old-school nebula award winners
Am I in the wrong? Should I force myself through some other old school classics?

Start reading with what interests you, I would be surprised if after a long time you wouldn't be interested in understanding and appreciating the themes in classics like Catcher in the Rye in their own rights.

This guy has the right idea. If you have to force yourself through a book, you're likely to miss the themes/ideas that make it a classic. Those books aren't going anywhere. Get to them when you actually want to.

Fuck the haters for saying you don't read """patrician"""" enough literature, just read what you like that activates your almonds, reading anything is better than nothing. I used to hate "classics" too but you'd be surprised how broad of topics/themes/styles classics can cover, you'll find something you like or learn to appreciate the stuff you didn't always like, I know I was like that.
