WOW! I read most of those in High School!
Except THE SOUND AND THE FURY, ATLAS SHRUGGED,and some of the Shakespeare plays.
Also read FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS.
Wonder how many have read CUP OF GOLD: A Life of Sir Henry Morgan, Buccaneer (1929) It was John Steinbeck’s first novel. I have.
I went to high school from 1960-1965. None of those books were on the reading lists. We read books like Arrowsmith, The Jungle, My Antonia, Ethan Frome, The Iliad, and The Odyssey and several of Shakespeare's plays. My English teacher in 10th grade, who was also my homeroom teacher, assigned us "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Needless to say I never read it, and based my book report on what I found in the encyclopedia. The teacher wasn't fooled. That book was the only book out of all the books we were assigned to read during high school, that I passed on. I'm an avid reader, and have been my whole life, but I just couldn't get into that book.
