The same thing happened to me.
Required reading in school killed my interest in reading. When I graduated I was very happy that I wouldn't have to read books ever again.
It took me about 5 years or so until anime and manga got me to try another fiction book. That eventually led to reading more books. But when school was done I really did think that I wasn't going to touch a (fiction) book again.

It makes me wonder if kids in the future will have "required reading" where they have to play certain old video games. Will that make them hate video games?
