“these are not books to ignite a passion for reading”; and yet they have for many hundreds of people for many decades.
no doubt curricula are in need of constant reform - not least to incorporate a breadth of themes, ideas and perspectives - but this approach is misdiagnostic.

if you think that the problem of declining literacy and interest in literature is found in the content of books - static across time - and not the wider, shifting (material) culture within which literature is situated, you are not fit to be in charge of anyone’s education.

probably time some of you realise that existing on this website in such close proximity to unfettered fascism is, shockingly, being internalised by some of you and, at best, shifting you to a discursive terrain that entertains some of the most deplorable fascist discourses.
