It wasn't so much the books as the pseudo-intellectualism. We were high school seniors, and she had us look up things like Post-Structuralism for an overnight assignment to never bring it up again. For one of our last assignments on literary lenses, she suggested one group of students read Phenomenology of the Spirit, though none of them had read philosophy before. It was irritating at first, but came to be amusing the more silly it got.

Luckily the last high school English class I had saved me from that. It was the double whammy of Moby-dick and The Road.

My english teacher actually made me really enthused about it because he was a good english teacher

this sort of stripped me of some of the analysing and re-enchanted literature

I actually read in highschool so I could make obscure jokes that not even the teachers would get and laugh and think haha my pals on /lit/ would've liked that zinger
