[quote=Anonymous]I am a 45 year old book nerd and I recently re read Hamlet. Honestly, I would be okay with my kids reading the cliff notes. Reading it as is is equivalent to a high schooler in 2521 reading the screen play for Clueless. There is wisdom in it, but wrapped up in so much trendy colloquialisms you need a map to make your way through a conversation. I’m okay with reevaluating what should be considered “required reading” without giving too much stock to trends. Fwiw, I also recently reread some Steinbeck and oh boy, that stuff would NEVER fly in today’s schools. A great writer, but hot he woke police would never let that fly. [/quote]
