I'm curious to know what books you all read (or were supposed to read) during your formative years (i.e. 6th-12th grade)
For me the list is as follows:
>A Wrinkle in Time
>The Lord of the Flies
>1984
>A Brave New World
>Farenheit 451
>Flowers for Algernon
>One Flew over the Kekoo's Nest
>To Kill a Mockingbird
>I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
>Holes
>The Most Dangerous Game
>Frankenstein
>Downriver
>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn
>Holes
>Animal Farm
>The Picture of Dorian Gray
>The Raven/Telltale Heart
>At the Mountains of Madness
>Sabriel
>The Things They Carried
>All Quiet on the Western Front
>Frankenstein
>The Odyssey
>Midsummer Night's Dream/Hamlet/Romeo and Juliet
>Wuthering Heights
>Uncle Tom's Cabin
>Of Mice and Men
And that's pretty much what I can remember.
How about you guys?
I don't know for at least three reasons:
i] Not being an American, I don't know what ages 6th-12th grades are.
ii] I read a tonne of books, there's no possible way I could list all the ones from any given year.
iii] I left school about ten years ago.

The rest were some shitty stories and plays about Aboriginals written by Australians.
Fuck all the English classes I had during high school. And fuck Catcher in the Rye.

Wait shit, are we supposed to list boos that we read personally during our years in the 6th to 12th grade?
If so, the list is very different then.
>>7358811
Oh, I forgot His Dark Materials series
>>7358756
Keep in mind that was over 15 years ago, and even then with 4-5 books a year there usually wasn't time to study the last or couple last in class.
Also I forgot Don Juan, Romeo & Juliet, Ann Frank's diary, and Frankenstein.
I actually read most of these on my own free time. My school was pretty shitty that way. The only book on this list I had to read for a class (which was college) was the things they carried. Thank god I have a sense to actually read.

You fucking austist. Ok here, let's make this eaisier.
"What books did you read as a child or adolescent that stuck with you into your adult years?"
Can you handle that?
>>7360525
Yeah, though I'll admit I wouldn't have remembered it was his if it weren't for the weird subtitle ("le festin de pierre")
