We read this when I was in school, I wonder if students still get it assigned to them?

So did we. Brave New World, Aldous Huxley, as well.

I read it in high school either by assignment or on my own.

Buy weapons and ammo. Room 101 already exists.

Yes, it IS still assigned! My grandson ( a senior in high school ) will be reading this in English class this year.
Seniors, in his private day school, have always read it.

It was required reading when I was in school along with Animal Farm, 1984 and Atlas Shrugged was for extra credit. I am requiring my children to read them all as well. We are at the end times.

We read it and then watched the movie with John Hurt in my English class in high school.

I rewatched it a few months ago - still chilling.
