Best Book High School Introduced You To.

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>For me it is "As I Lay Dying" an experience I won't forget.</p>

2

<p>I quite enjoyed The Great Gatsby</p>

3

<p>The Great Divorce. We didn’t actually read it in school, but it was introduced to me by my lang teacher. Book is amazing.</p>

4

<p>Animal Farm, 1984, Great Gatsby</p>

5

<p>I enjoyed Sister Carrie very much.</p>

6

<p>Either The Crucible, Inherit the Wind, or All the King’s Men.</p>

7

<p>To Kill A Mockingbird and Night. Maybe 1984?</p>

8

<p>Definitely Animal Farm</p>

9

<p>I would have to agree with everyone else: Animal Farm.
But I’m pretty sure Lord of the Flies was pretty nice, too. The Glass Menagerie is also a nice but saddening read. On the contrary, I hated A Separate Peace. Ugh.</p>

10

<p>Brave New World is pretty epic
Frankenstein was good too</p>

11

<p>The Kite Runner I suppose.</p>

<p>Funny because As I Lay Dying is an experience I HOPE to forget. gah</p>

12

<p>Kaffir Boy, by Mark Mathabane. </p>

<p>Incredible book :)</p>

13

<p>

I second that.</p>

14

<p>Brave New World and Fahrenheit were both good.</p>

<p>But in general I have a hard time enjoying books that are required for a class. The extra work required sucks all the fun out of reading.</p>

15

<p>Also, Ender’s Game is SO GOOD. I read it last year for AP Computer Science</p>

16

<p>I enjoyed the Scarlet Letter a lot</p>

17

<p>^ I deplore that book.</p>

18

<p>To Kill a Mockingbird is probably my favorite out of all the books I’ve read in high school.</p>

19

<p>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>The Sound and the Fury</p>

<p>unless you count college, in which case, I must also include A Hero of Our Time, Petersburg, Fathers and Sons, and Eugene Onegin</p>

<p>It introduced my to the works of James Joyce… Of which I’ve read Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegan’s Wake. My favourite is a toughie because although I adore Finnegan’s Wake I’ve now read it six times and still do not understand it well enough to be able to write a sparknotesesque piece on it. Whereas I did understand Ulysses (wrote a couple of long papers on it) and really like it but it just lacks the mystique of Finnegan’s Wake.</p>
