Same here. I was always a little peturbed at how many kids in my class couldn't/wouldn't read or didn't see the point....
though it did lead to some hilarious stories:

freshman year in english we had to do a paper on some.. historical .. person thing and a girl picked Galileo.. well she printed off the information on 'him' only later to have it pointed out by the teacher she had a stack of papers on the missle/rocket/something-non-humanlike Galileo. That was great and sad. I kind of sat in shock infront and to the left of her.
