the old man and the sea
the catcher in the rye
the pearl

 

I don't see the point of this thread, I can simply list pretty much all of the books that are usually read in high school, but I do not know what that will achieve.

 

who are you working for?

 

that reminds me - the merchant of venice

 

Anything about slavery really.
I already had a higher reading level than my teachers though.

 

Nobody, I just have way too much next to useless general knowledge stored in my head.

 

just remembered:


the crucible

 

to kill a mockingbird
who has seen the wind

 

The illustrated man by Ray Bradbury
Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck
Slaughter house 5.. dont remember who the author is.. Grisham?
the bell jar
some shakespeare

 

Vonnegut.

Now repent, sinner.

 

lol the book sucked anyway.

 

Farenheit 451(Decent)
Brave new world(Shitty version of 1984)
Diary of miss jane pittman (shittiest book ever a fucking 2 year old has better vocabulary.)
Walden pond (loved it)

Books I was already reading.
Nietzsche, plato, Russell, Hume, Mill, Tolstoy, Nobakov etc..

 

You're much of a reader?

 

Good thing I went to a private middle school.
I had already read steinbeck, hemingway, shakepeare etcc.

 

No.

 

I read quite a bit. I lean more towards the biographies and fantasy.

 

my teacher was so obsessed with that story that she read the whole book aloud to us. then when we watched the movie she started bawling when the big guy died. really awkward

 

Lenny gots ta play wif dem rabbits in heaben.

 

I went to public school in Florida in the 70s so we really never got past "The Pigeon Finds A Hotdog"

But I read Orwell and Hershey and I think my favorite was Carson McCullers' "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter".
