I was going for the "Kaiser not Just in Name" achievment and I am wondering if it is possible to do Marre Nostrum achievment in the same run, and if so how?

I see a lot of people, especially people around my age, talking about how lit classes in high school "ruined" reading for them. This is a sentiment I empathize with, since I didn't read for pleasure for a while after I left high school. I'd definitely learned to associate reading with required work rather than pleasure.
However, where I stop short is with the idea that middle and high school literature classes should be about just letting you read books that you like, or helping you find books that you like. "Literature" is an unfathomably vast array of works that spans just about every culture on earth. If you only ever stick to books that you like right away, you'll end up with a very limited view of literature, and of the world.
Now, I know that plenty of lit classes don't live up to the diversity of literature as a whole. However, I still think that there's good value in the "classics", as they're called. Reading complex literature (and no, most YA is not complex) and learning to analyze media through a critical lens is one of the most important skills a human being can have, especially nowadays when we're more personally responsible than ever for filtering the information we receive.
I think reading for fun is a wonderful thing, and I'd never judge someone for liking a book, provided it wasn't written by Ayn Rand, but literature classes are there to teach you something, to help you develop critical thinking skills. And odds are, the books that you like as a middle/high schooler aren't going to be books that can teach you those.
Edit: As in, in-universe.

Hi everyone. Not exactly shortwave but not quite sure where else to ask AM BCB DX questions.
I spent last night listening around the MW and SW bands. It seemed like last night was kind of hit-or-miss for SW, so I spent most of it tuning around the AM broadcast band.
1610 kHz is interesting in the US as it is not assigned to any stations other than low-power travel information; but there are at least a couple of Canadian stations. I think last night I was listening to Radio Humsafar (CHRN) in Montreal. This is a 1 kw (at night) station that airs programming for South Asian immigrants and mostly seems to be in Hindi/Urdu.
I was never able to positively ID the station as I couldn't make out call letters, but it seems the only real candidate given the programming; also Canadian AM stations tend not to ID as much as US ones do for some reason. I have four semesters of college spanish under my belt, so I am pretty sure if I had been listening to CHHA in Toronto I would have recognized the language and made out enough to ID it. But, the radio broadcast did not seem to match up with the live stream on the Internet.
Does anyone else have experience listening to 1610 and know of any other stations other than CHHA and CHRN that this might have been?
I love reading, but I don't get why i should care about some "deeper meaning" in books or give a frick about what genres of literature there are.It won't help me at all.At least with math i can at least see how it can be useful.It wouldn't bother me if literature was on the same level as art or music class.But to have it have the same importance (or more) as physics for example,that's just bullcrap.
