I didn't do any Hardy at school; ias did, and feels as you do.
My schooling gave me an utter loathing of L.P. Hartley's The Go-Between (apart from the first line "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there", which even I'll admit isn't bad). They even forced us to watch the 1970 Harold Pinter-adapted film with Julie Christie and Alan Bates, and I've been trying to forget that ever since.
