November 9, 200718 yr What was your favorite "required reading" in school/college? Mine was almost anything by Edgar Allan Poe.
November 9, 200718 yr To Kill a Mockingbird Read that for the first time in eighth grade and I've read it probably 4 or 5 time since. Definitely the top of my list for all-time required reading. Also: "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien - for a Lit. class in college "Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe" - soph. year of high school "In Our Time" by Ernest Hemingway - Lit. class in college You can throw "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Great Gatsby" on there as well, but they didn't have nearly as much re-read value as the other four.
November 9, 200718 yr I really liked Catcher in the Rye..... :thumb: Also, way back when, I had to read The Outsiders. That was a good book!
November 9, 200718 yr Amazingly, I was able to get by without ever reading a book from cover to cover in school. I never did enjoy reading books, and I still don't.

November 9, 200718 yr Even though I didn't like to read anything in High School, I would have to go with The Great Gatsby.
November 9, 200718 yr To Kill A Mockingbird has become my favorite book. Loved it in 8th grade, but appreciated it much more reading it again in college. Also a big fan of The Great Gatsby and Slaughterhouse Five, both read in high school.
