Why?

I started the book. Its about a tennis academy. Education and I are in a battle at the end one will die. Either I will or I will become dictator and abolish education. I do not understand tennis. You whack a ball back unforth until one person fails to whack the ball. Like golf, it derives its motive from the restraint of failure. Once failure occurs the game can continue. It’s lonely. The book is 1000 pages long. Its about tennis and education. It seems to be be a collection of sort-of-neat science fiction ideas I have seen in other books.
It does seem compelling at times and so many people have liked it. I am hopeful. I just need a good reason to read it. There are good reasons not to.
