    Honestly, the reading level thing sucked. My school, when I was young, required reading a certain number of books at our reading level. I was maxed out at a college level in third or fourth grade. Nothing kills your desire to read like being forced to read novels when your peers are reading Dr. Seuss. It made me hate reading for the longest time.

      I was “college level” in 6th grade. Figured it was bullshit. Nope. Most people can’t fucking read.
