When I was in high school I never read anything that was boring, even if I was being tested on it, but now that I am more mature(sort of) I would suggest reading it to pass the class. Just think of as an adventure to remind you why you don't believe in fairy-tales.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
