I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

I liked Shakespeare - Hamlet, MacBeth, Julius Caesar, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest. Probably year 10 or 11. Also Animal Farm.
I didn’t care much for Lord of the Flies, or My Family and Other Animals. Probably year 9.
Others I remember fondly were The Silver Sword and Stig of the Dump, from year 5.
I only read the Old Man and the Sea later as an adult, along with other Hemingway books which I enjoyed.
