yeah it happens to a lot of great books
read them in high school, have no idea what they are about, then take quizzes on who said what in each chapter.
I thought 1984 was the lamest book ever in high school, and I read it again last year (8 or 9 years later) and realized it's a jewel.
Same thing with Thoreau's
Walden. I couldn't get past the 1st chapter in high school, now I read it like it's the freakin Bible.
