I read the book first, enjoyed it, then found out that a lot of people hate it.I loved Ready Player One, I had no idea it was a book until long after I'd seen the film!

Same. I don’t get the hate, but don’t really care. Enjoy what you enjoy!I read the book first, enjoyed it, then found out that a lot of people hate it.
Haven't watched the film. I wasn't convinced that it would be able to capture what I'd imagined reading it.Same. I don’t get the hate, but don’t really care. Enjoy what you enjoy!
It’s very cool visually, and they managed to capture the spirit of the book, but entirely changed the challenges themselves, and probably swapped out some of the pop culture references based on which licensing agreements the could or could not acquire. They changed Artemis’ story significantly too.Haven't watched the film. I wasn't convinced that it would be able to capture what I'd imagined reading it.
You wanna talk obnoxious? When I was a younger wolf, I had a professor in my first year or so of college.Nope, not a trope. It's obnoxious. Why can't I just enjoy the story. And, why am I penalized if I don't get the same things out if the book as the instructor?
Teachers, especially grade school and later on, English teachers, are in a position to instill a lifelong love or hate of reading, among other subjects.

History professor. New phD. The man would stand there and lecture for 45 minutes while we took notes.
That was the extent of his teaching. There was a textbook we were expected to read, of course. Fine. About 100 pages or so a week. Also fine.
In theory.
90% of our grade was 3 “exams”. Each exam was 5 short answer essay questions on important topics from his lectures and the reading, and we’d be able to pick from a list of topics to answer these questions. Thing was, they were our analysis of what these topics meant, their significance to the period of time and the events. Somewhat subjective.
His grading, as I found out, was also subjective. This pompous, holier-than-thou asshole, when I confronted him with questions about his grading, basically said “tough shit, my forehead is miles higher than yours in this subject, deal with it.”
Agreed. Thankfully, my early teachers were those, except for one odd one, and she was a good lesson in standing up for myself, which, while not English, was still useful, even if I was in 7th gradeTeachers, especially grade school and later on, English teachers, are in a position to instill a lifelong love or hate of reading, among other subjects.
