To Kill a Mockingbird? The Catcher in the Rye? I dunno.

My guess would be The Great Gatsby. I was forced to read this in two different high school English classes, and I disliked it both times.

I don't think it's any of those.

wow... we had a weird school. you know the hs tv shows where someone is always doing some sort of Shakespeare play? never ever happened at our school. we only read mcbeth. in any event, most reading was done in homework style or summer reading list. i loved jane eyre and still read it to this day. i loved the Canterbury tales and the crucible. Beowulf, mcbeth... i remember rip van winkle and things like that. i will never ever forget Oedipus.  i remember a book or story being read to us written 'way long ago' -- starting out with i think some doctor or medicine man patching up this guy riding a horse with boils on his ass [words in book] and how him bumping on the horse after he was patched up ruined the bandages. to be honest, most books that are on this ;books you didn't read in hs but should have' or hs books... we were not made to read them. |

Could also BE 'Fahrenheit 451'.

80s-Canada-We only got one or two Shakespeare plays.
We did read Canterbury Tales or part of it, and Beowulf.
Also some of Paradise Lost.
We had to read horrible crap like Margaret Laurence's the Diviners and the Stone Angel though too.
One teacher had us read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and watch the movie and he got in trouble for the later.
The principal was such a Skinner-type jerk.
A friend told me they used to give him the contaminated baking when he came by cooking class-so he got the stuff with dirt and bugs and other stuff in it.
