[Sans-Culotte]

18 years ago, our school also assigned a Toni Morrison novel for senior year. I told the head of the dept that my son was not going to read the book....and we agreed on a suitable substitute. Only one other student in a class of 25 was pulled out.

When I was in high school in the mid-70's, we always had a list of 4 or 5 books to choose from. We chose which one we wanted and some students chose something else. This is how I avoided having to read Silas Marner.

Ugh.....Silas Mariner is right up there with Beowolf and the other boring boring epics.
