<p>So I just finished up the book Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup and I was surprised by how easy a read it was. I initially thought I wasn't going to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised that the book was really entertaining and I ended up reading the entire book in like two days.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone else would care to share what books they read for school that they enjoyed reading.</p>
<p>Pride and Prejudice and Their Eyes Were Watching God. Right now I'm enjoying Heart of Darkness :)</p>
<p>Autobiography of Malcolm X
The Great Gatsby
Catcher in the Rye.</p>
<p>Equus (well, it was a play, but interesting all the same)</p>
<p>equus, song of solomon, and native son.</p>
<p>this thread has already been created...a couple times...
sheed, it's catcher in the rye</p>
<p>i can tell you my least fav was anything by j. conrad.</p>
<p>Their Eyes Were Watching God is soooo goooood.</p>
<p>Dante's Inferno was kind of cool, too, although the assignments we had to do with it were terrible.</p>
<p>les miserable
cat's cradle
the great gatsby</p>
<p>My least favorite was Wuthering Heights</p>
<p>So far:
The Alchemist
Frankenstein
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Cage</p>
<p>This year, which is American Lit for me, has been a hit with the books. </p>
<p>A Gathering of Old Men by Gaines
The Sun Also Rises by Hemmingway
Black Boy by Wright (Though the last few chapters felt out of place)</p>
<p>Animal Farm, 1984, Tale of Two Cities</p>
<p>Angela's Ashes
Animal Farm
Fahrenheit 451</p>
<p>I only read (or at least I was tested over) about 1/3 of the books you guys listed for high school</p>
<p>I think 1984 and The Great Gatsby are two books I wish had been assigned in high school.</p>
<p>Invisible Man
A Streetcar Named Desire
Othello, Romeo and Juliet
Canterbury Tales
Sirens of Titan, Cats Cradle, Player Piano, basically all the Vonnegut books.</p>
<p>one flew over the cuckoo's nest
the great gatsby
catcher in the rye
cat's cradle (my absolute favorite book in the world)
the color of water
to kill a mockingbird</p>
<p>East of Eden
My Name Is Asher Lev
The Razor's Edge</p>
<p>I really liked East of Eden, although I read it for pleasure, not for school.</p>
<p>The Count of Monte Cristo, by far. It is my favorite book ever.</p>
<p>mmmmmm... player piano was not that good. god bless you mr. rosewater was the best vonnegut book.</p>
