……and, yeah, I had to read some garbage back in the day- Catch 22 and Brave New World.Not fine pieces of classic literature, in my opinion.

How about “Killing Mr. Griffin”, or “After the First Death”? That one was just soft porn. Both very depressing books.

Didn’t have a reading list so I read what I wanted. Anything by Lovecraft and Tolkien. Also Dune.

Worst novel I ever remember being required to read in high school English class; The Vicar Of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith.

In the 70’s our 10th grade English teacher was nearly fired because of the ‘in school’ reading list for the year she gave us. Catch 22, Animal Farm, 1984, The Graduate and Clockwork Orange. Parents actually came to her defense stating that censorship at the hands of the school board was not acceptable. Weirdest collection of books I’ve ever read and am glad that we did.

Go to the library and see the world from your living room. The New York Public Library was once upon a time known as the poor man’s university.
