A whole bunch of you read all the Great Books in middle school but can't add fractions at age 35 😘

I couldn’t add fractions in middle school, either. Seems like dark magic to me. But I did read nearly all the Great Books then and don’t regret it, though many of them I’d never read willingly again.
