    Every book report in high school where I could choose the author was a Stephen King novel and I turned out fine. And in Florida too. Class of 1991. 😁. BRD.

      Back in the ‘80’s I had a high school English teacher that had us read his Night Shift short stories. The entire class loved it.

          Welp, then according to their plan, you didn’t turn out fine, you’re the problem. Good for you though, I’m hoping your state turns it around quickly because I really want to live there. It’s beautiful and I love the weather there, I just can’t deal with the bullshit they’re doing.

            It’s not cheap. I left in 2005 because the insurance cost kept doubling every year despite never having a claim and I was 30 miles inland. And the deductibles would increase too. t’s worse now. Just do your homework first.

      I read The Stand and It before high school, and lots of other mature books with “inappropriate” material. It resulted in improved reading skills.
