- What books did we read in school? 
- How are literary exams different in Canada and the UK?
- Why do schools make you read classics? 
- Do we think schools should teach more contemporary novels? 
- What even makes ”a classic” a classic?

Come and take a trip down memory lane with us as we discuss what books we read in school in the UK and in Canada. Before that, however, apparently we’re not reallllllly a book podcast because we spent the first half of this episode essentially talking about school uniforms, exams and everything school related! We hope you find it as interesting as we found it.
