Gimme a break here - spoken like a true fool of a took, if you ask me. I mean, since the academic geeks decided years ago that Shakespeare was culture, being able to spout it off by rote is more "acceptable" than the memorization of something newer and more from the realm of popular culture? Balderdash and poppycock, I say ...

lest we forget that Shakespeare was MEANT to be memorized as it was A FRIGGIN' PLAY!! I mean come on Buffy - where's your common sense? Left in your other pants perhaps?
I'm with you PD - I'd first read The Hobbit in the 4th grade. By the end of the 7th grade I'd re-read it and read all 3 of the LOTR books and the Silmarillion. Twice. Jumpstarted my brain. By the time I finished high school I'd read every book in the SF section of my local and school libraries. EVERY book.
