    Either I have a higher tolerance than most or my English teachers were pansies.

    Though we did read the play version of The Diary of Anne Frank when I was in 8th grade.

        I don’t know that I’ve ever read the Diary in it’s entirety, but I’ve heard that there are some rather explicit parts, especially pertaining to Anne’s puberty, so maybe they did it to avoid that.

        Oh id forgotten they did that. We had to read the play of Of Mice and Men. It is not a book that is improved by being a play.
