In hign school, I read Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, and Fyodor Dostoevskii's Crime and Punishment. All of them are well over 200 pages. If Jackie Goldberg's proposal goes through, students would be relegated to the Cliff's Notes, or better yet the Classic Comics version of these works.
