Just because someone reads a book, doesn't mean that they understand it, and if they're forced to read something they probably won't enjoy it.

I think catcher in the rye is a good book for boys of that age to read. The main character is insufferable because he holds views similar to incel culture. Problem is some people identify with Holden.

    I was forced to read Animal Farm in early high school and didn't like it or really try to understand it. I re-read it as an adult just because I wanted to and I loved it. Any time there was a reading project with a list of books to choose from rather than a single forced choice, I enjoyed it way more. The choice really does make a difference
