What are some books that you had to read in school?

I don't remember much from Elementary aside from "Watsons Go To Birmingham" and "Because Of Winn-Dixie". In high school I read "The Scarlet Letter", "The Catcher In The Rye", "1984", "Animal Farm", "Macbeth", "Hamlet", and "To Kill A Mockingbird" (actually got to watch the film adaptation in class while I was reading it too)

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby were the two I read that really stuck with me. I remember reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Catcher in the Rye, Othello, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Of Mice and Men, Heart of Darkness, A Streetcar Named Desire, As I Lay Dying, and probably a ton more in highschool.

I did a ton of reading in college with Frankenstein probably being my favorite there. I remember they required us to read the TOMS shoes guy book and uck. Standard "I was a small guy who got a small loan of a million dollars to start my business" thing. I'm really surprised I haven't read any Hemingway in my educational career. But I also haven't met anyone teaching who actually likes reading his stuff.

No clue. I was obsessed with the X-Files Novels tho, they were at my highschool's library and I read them whenever a teacher failed to come to class.
