I remember hating Lord of the Flies so much when I read it in school and because of that I didnt read it at all (this has not changed, tell me to read a book and I still HATE doing it, let me find it on my own and I'm ALL about it - in other words, I'm where all good recommendations go to die). Then low and behold I had to write a paper about it and (the night before it was due) I was looking for a quote to use next thing I knew I'd read from that point on, finished it, and really liked it. AND the paper got written on time too.
