I think reading does make you smarter...and it certainly broadens a person's knowledge. ;^p
Growing up, I hated reading, too. But then I started a wonderful thing called a "reading list." I will stop before you *really* see what a nerd I can be.
*edit* Glad you got the goodies, Dan! :^)

I don't know about read a book, how about invest in a Speak 'n' Spell?

i just have to give janet props. you know why guuuurl.
I hate required reading, too, just because I hate to be forced to be interested in a book if I'm not. But for some reason, we don't have any required reading over the summer, which I'm fine with!
I can sympathise- last year we had to read "To Kill A Mockingbird" which, although a good book, was very difficult to understand when you are rushed through (and made to skip) several chapters that I believe are important. If I'd read it at my own pace, I think I would have understood it a lot better. I'm trying to re-read it now. Although it has good morals, I don't think I would have read it if we hadn't been "forced" to at school.
However, sometimes "required reading" can be good- last summer we were asked to read Jane Eyre and I found I really liked it. :)

Actually, Sir GH, Dan was right but owing to Breanna's illiteracy and missing punctuation, it's a little confusing. The statement SHOULD read (and I don't condone it in any way):-
"Ok, I'm sorry Janet for saying go f*ck yourself. What I meant to say was go fuck yourself. There. Happy now?"
I should be an English teacher.
