What are the best books you've read in high school?

What books do you wish teachers should assign?

What books would be great to discuss in an English class (or another class)?

I think the best book I read in High School was Farenheit 451. 1984 was a drop boring but at the same time sooo good and relevent. Homestly I think I was the only kid in the class that liked almost everything we read

Cool! I read Fahrenheit 451 in 9th grade. It wasn't exactly my favorite though. I haven't read 1984, but I have it, and I do plan on reading it sometime soon.

lol, honestly, me too! I'm the student who loves to read . . . A LOT!

I personally enjoyed Just Mercy and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Shawna Finnigan (sugoishawn) | 360 comments The best books I read in high school were The Catcher in the Rye and The Man in the High Castle

I wish that If You Come Softly was assigned in school. It gives the heartbreak of Romeo and Juliet but with much more current issues woven throughout the book.

I read The Memory Keeper's Daughter for a choice reading unit in English. I thought it was really good.

Darby I'm still in highschool so there'll be many more books I read, but thus far:
Best book I've read has to be either Much Ado About Nothing (I'm a simp for any books by Shakespeare) or The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.

Book I wish my teachers would assign either The Perks of Being a Wallflower orTo Kill a Mockingbird

I think The Lord of the Rings and Romeo and Juliet are great books for deep discussions (:

I've heard of it. Our former mod Emary read it and loved it!
