In the context of a class, "stinks" doesn't matter the same way. Liking everything you study isn't the point. Dd didn't like everything she read in HS or uni and neither did I, but the point was to learn about writers, writing style, messages the writer intended vs. what the reader got, etc.
There are writers I read in lit classes & never again.
There are writers I adore whom I discovered through lit classes.
There are books that challenged me that I might never have read had they not be in a lit class.
Totally different from personal reading.
