When I was in middle school, my geography teacher had a small library of these Classic Starts books. They were all fantastical stories like pic related or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but they were my first exposure to lit-proper.
Coincidentally, the same teacher once gave me an unabridged copy of Moby-Dick to read that intimidated me as it seemed like a book with teeth compared to what I was reading at the time.. I never read it. Sometimes I wonder if having my mind dazzled by Melville at a young age would have let the claws of reading sink in sooner, but that's enough blogposting for one night.
