As a teen I utterly hated having to read such books: all they usually did was cause me to roll my eyes in disdain and disgust... and if forced to read any in school I did my best just to get through it to satisfy the teacher...
From Me To You
Over these same six and some years, I have myself almost given up on writing three times... and could have similarly disappeared from here too.
