Either because of literary value, you love them, or you wouldn't have heard of them elsewise.

The Book Thief. It is such a beautiful book and I can't really think of any books I had to read in high school that could be used to discuss Nazism and WWII.

I couldn't make it to the end of the frist chapter. Death sounded all... wrong.

The Book Thief was taught in my school. So was Night by Elie Weisel. It wasn't taught to me but Diary of A Young Girl is commonly taught. There are lots of books commonly taught that discuss Nazism and WWII.

Yeah, I read both Night and Diary of A Young Girl but I think those were just on my own. No idea why we didn't read it in class.

well, i went to a catholic high school in canada, but we had to read night by elie weisel in english class. i remembering my teachers talking about the holocaust/ww2 a lot in school, probably more because the horrors of it stuck with me than because it was frequently, though.

A+++++ YES

TBT is on a few curriculums I know of!

This might be something that some schools look at but mine didn't: Lovecraft. I didn't realize how Edgar Allan Poe it was like. I would've loved to read something of his within the academic context of who he was and when he was writing, etc. I'd love to dissect his stories. And, I think he's influential enough in the horror circles to be considered worth a look.

My school was religious, so there is no way we would have done Lovecraft. But I wish we had. And more Poe. I think all we read was the Raven.

Guys, guys, I just heard about Santa's Husband and I want to see it everywhere!! under my Christmas tree and in every school library!

I have a lot of answers (hit me up this time two years ago and I’d have had about 100 answers), but for this moment I’m going to say The Kite Runner.

I was taught this in high school and it horrified me, but then redeemed itself

Well, maybe not for the literary value, but... Gavin de Becker's The Gift of Fear is something a lot of people should read at a younger age.

Everyone should read that book, particularly women.

I own that! All women should read it, the commenter below is correct.

*Above, rather!*

I just wish we read more books in general. It was mostly short stories, poems, and snippets of things until I got to AP English.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I took a class on the Bronte sisters and we read Wuthering Heights and all of Charlotte's completed novels, but Anne's books were only mentioned in passing. We were given the option of reading one of Anne's books for extra credit and I loved both, but especially Wildfell Hall.

My high school taught Ender's Game as the introductory book for freshman literature. I think that's something more schools should do. There's a main plot that's easy to understand, then all kinds of symbolism that acts as a sort of "bonus" for the readers who care to find it.
