I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, something about it made me feel a profound sadness that still sticks with me today. I red this all the way back in high school as part of class reading. The fact I still think about that book today means my teacher was cooking, I hope he knows he made an impression on me, I wish I could tell him.
