Surprised that they didn’t put 1984 down on the list.

We had Uncle Tom’s Cabin handed out as the required book to read. I doubt if more than 10-percent of the kids read the book....the rest all read some two-page summary that someone got from their relative in college.

Ah, I miss hearing all those high school “book reports” on the CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED comic books.

Those comics got me to reading the real books.

It was more fun with some kid “reported” on some book, made into a movie, then a comic book made from the movie script.
