I do. I was always bored with it because we got it in 4th through 6th grade, it's written at about a 4th grade reading level, and in 3rd grade I read at a 12th grade reading level. So we'd get it, I'd read it in about 2 minutes, it seemed oversimplified to me-- and then I had to sit through group reading and half the kids stumbling over the words, and then a group discussion in which most of the class didn't care and those that did didn't have an understanding of current events on my level because we discussed the news around the dinner table...
