No, I didn't have to read this book in high school. No, I'm not privy to why not. I read it now, and I'm glad I read it as an adult and not as a teenager. I'm glad I didn't have to dissect it to pieces and could just enjoy and glean what I could out of it.

The quote that sums it up for me is probably "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others." ...more
