3 points through guessing. So, at least I'm a better guesser than you are.

I've always hated the denomination as "classics" of certain books which are regarded must-reads by Boards of Education, but really give nothing to me. I couldn't name a single book I read in school and truly liked; most were just filed as "irrelevant" and "old-fashioned".
