    - Also: Of Mice and Men. Everyone in my HS seemed to get assigned that but I never did. -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 07:36 4
      - Animal Farm, Grapes of Wrath, Fahrenheit 451, Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird. 0 for 6. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 27, 07:39 1

      - Did you go to public school? We had to read all of these and it wasn't an option as they were assigned to the whole class. -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 07:38
- As far as books I had to read for school goes, I liked that one. -- nm - Dano Oct 27, 07:33 1
  - I never enjoyed Twain, The Pearl was depressing, and Holden Caulfield needs to stop whining. -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 07:34
