Interestingly enough it is still my favorite book now - George Orwell's 1984. I read it every couple of years and always find it relevant to the world we live in.
-
... i can't think of a single one.
-
The only books I can remember being forced to read and study were "Animal Farm" by George Orwell and "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. At the time I hated them both, because I naturally hate being forced to do anything, but I have since re-read both and enjoyed them (even though I knew the plot twists!), so maybe I can sympathise a little more now with the teachers who genuinely didn't understand how we students weren't engrossed in these books.
-
Animal Farm by George Orwell, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. 3 of my favorite books of all time, I might add.
-
Of Mice and Men Flowers for Algernon
-
students companion.
-
I think all the books I read in high school were great - but not then, because I was being forced to not only read the book, but to dissect every single sentence. Ugh. My favorite was Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, after I reread it later.

-
'Flowers for Algernon' One of the better books I read in high school, along with 'Of Mice and Men'.
-
I liked The Scarlet Letter, A Separate Peace, and some of these which are plays but they were in a book so I think it counts. The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, A Mid-Summer's Night Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and The Crucible.
-
The Counte of Monte Cristo - had to read the french version for French class. I picked it because it was the thinnest of all the selections. Little did I know how good it would turn out to be. It was especially intriguing since I had to keep going to the French/English dictonary...just about every other sentence! lol It was a VERY good book.
-
After the Dancing Days and A Separate Peace.
-
Farenheit 451 was probably my favorite that we were assigned to read. Independently...probably Running With Scisscors. And The Old Man & The Sea, but that was in middle school.
-
The Girl Who Owned a City by someone I can't remember.
-
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. They were amazing books.
-
We read Le Petite Prince, that wasn't bad, and Count Of Monte Cristo (both in French). I did a lot of 'independent' reading, my teachers never cared as I was reading two or three books for fun a week as it was. I still try and read as much as I can, and I'll read anything, including the dictonary.
-
"Snow Falling On Cedars". A great novel.
-
catcher in the rye, flowers for algernon. we also watch the movie. there were more than a few with tears in there eyes.

Night by Elie Weisel. It is the BEST book ever written on WWII. I have never read anything so moving in my entire life. Also we read this book called Possibilities. It has a bunch of short stories of different authors and it is just wonderful
-
Animal Farm, good book too.
-
An English literature and comprehension book called Response. It's no longer use in schools.

The only two I can think of that I liked were Of Mice And Men and The Outsiders. The only other book I remember having to read was Romeo and Juliet. And I had to read it every year, 5 years in a row.
-
I really liked "To Kill A Mockingbird"

I read Frankenstein for English, I thought it was great. I also read a book called Not Without My Daughter for Sociology. I recommend it.

I actually had to read a lot of great books in high school, though most of them I didn't really appreciate until recently. The Good Earth, A Separate Peace, A Tale of Two Cities, Catcher in the Rye, Frankenstein, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Great Expectations, The Iliad, Waiting for Godot [though that's actually a play, so I suppose it doesn't count]; there were others I didn't like as well, but that were undeniably good, well-written books--like The Bluest Eye and Beloved.
-
A Tale of Two Cities is a personal favorite from that time, along with several plays: The Crucible, Death of a Salesman, Our Town, MacBeth... Of Mice and Men still gets me! Personally hated Grapes of Wrath, though- too boring! Just tell the story!

We read the classics in high school. I loved the Odyssey of Homer, and loved the movie, 'Oh Brother, Where art thou' which was based on the book, and I love watching George Clooney anyway.
-
Crime and Punishment, War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick, and To Kill a Mockingbird. They are all wonderful literature.
-
a John Lennon book, but i cant remember the name

The Awakening. The ending is profoundly depressing, but it was my first introduction to a truly "adult" book (not necessarily in terms of sexual content, but it showed me the dismal reality of the adult world).
-
of mice and men
-
The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. I had to read this book as one of books for English Literature in my ordinary level.
