Books that you studied at school

[Mallory Whitaker]

The Great Gatsby, Poisonwood Bible, The Good Solider, Confederates in the Attic, Cat's Eye, and Titus Andronicus are some that come to mind. I know there are a bunch though.

I had to read The Outsiders. It is now one of my favorite books.

Literature classes were always my favorite in school so I ended up loving most of the books we were assigned to read. Here's a list of all the books, besides the anthologies, that were a part of my course work throughout my years at school:

James and the Giant Peach
Great Expectations
Around the World in 80 Days
Pride and Prejudice
The Merchant of Venice
Romeo and Juliet
The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg
Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah
All My Sons by Arthur Miller
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens

My favourite was definitely To Kill a Mockingbird. I also really liked The Outsiders. Really disliked all of the Shakespeare, though. No matter how much I tried to understand it, I just couldn't.

I enjoyed most of the books I read in high school, with the exception of the Canterbury Tales and Beowulf. I remember Their Eyes Were Watching God, A Brave New World, Mice and Men, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Great Gatsby, and To Kill a Mockingbird. We also read A Wrinkle in Time and Hatchet in junior high. I liked those as well.

I didn't like Shakespeare either. I still don't.

I studied Oliver Twist and found it too interesting to forget. Even now, I would still reread it if I had access to it.

[Nisha Ward]

School gave me a passionate love affair with Macbeth. To this day, I still love that play, even though I've encountered many others since I first read it. Oh, there's also Marlon James' A Brief History of Seven Killing. Loved that one intensely.

[Julie Petitbon]

Native Son by Richard Wright deeply moved me when I read it in eleventh grade. That same year, I read Emily Dickinson poetry, The Great Gatsby, and To Kill A Mockingbird. By the end of the school year, I knew that I wanted to become an English teacher.

I remember studying A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

[ErikaP13]

I had English as a second language at school, so the books we were made to read were pretty standard, basic books. I did exceptionally enjoy James and the Giant Peach, though. The rest was just dull to me in comparison to what I was reading for fun.

The only book that I read during my school days was tinkle. My school had a huge library which I didn't make use of it, because I didn't realize I was interested in books. And I am regretting it years later.

[Elena Nechita]

I didn't really like any of the school books, simply because as a woman it was difficult enjoying them when there were barely any female main characters, and those were one dimensional at best. And even if I were ok with that, the males characters were all the same, intelectuals who couldn't find their place in society because they're too smart, or men who were obsessed with land and money.

[Alissa Nesson]

Reading Slaughterhouse 5 in school turned me on to Kurt Vonnegut

[Tobi Adefila]

While in school I really loved science books so I studied them alot. Those ones involving how a human system works were my favorite. They were really amazing.
