Recently, I tweeted about how in 90s/00s it was common to be assigned a book to read in 1 or 2 weeks. Many younger people replied they'd NEVER been assigned that much reading even while getting graduate degrees. Others said they hadn't been assigned entire books AT ALL in h.s....only excerpts.
To read a book in college, it helps to have read a book in high school.
This is so alarming. 😳
Holy shit. The most reading I was ever assigned was an honors history course in college (late 90s), and it usually consisted of a novel and several research papers every week. It was brutal; the prof. eventually relented and gave us ten days to read each novel. I loved that fucking class...
Weird and sad. I had to read quite a few books in HS and often gave myself way to little time to do so.
