    I can't remember anything from the books I read at GCSE and I like reading.

    Also as kids can't leave school or have to be an apprenticeship until they are 18, GCSEs should be scrapped.

      Don't worry. I was among the first year to do GCSE. Does that reassure you?

          I particularly remember how much I hate William Frigging Golding & his unpleasant "Lord of the Flies" tome.

            My pet hate in English Lit was the poem ' Mending Wall' by Robert Frost, thoroughly analysed by a bunch of pseuds here.

            When asked what I had learnt from this poem I responded 'it's easier to hire a bricklayer'.

                Simply because the vast majority of people don't like studying Shakespeare, so you're anomalous by definition if you did. I'm not saying you shouldn't like it, merely that it's unusual for people at GCSE age.
