I think they assign things to students which are way over their heads, which destroy your love of reading, rather than leading you to it. I don't understand that. Gosh.
Interpretation
What this quote means

He highlights a disconnect between educational expectations and students' abilities, raising questions about how assignments should be structured to enhance, rather than hinder, a love for literature.

Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.
