Re: What was your assigned reading in HS?

I went to seven high schools in four years and none of them included The Great Gatsby on the syllabus for any of their classes. The only Steinbeck works at any of those schools were Of Mice and Men or The Pearl for remedial freshman English, The Grapes of Wrath for sophomore English Lit, and juniors could choose from a list of works that included East of Eden, Cannery Row, and The Winter of Our Discontent. I suppose the list could have included The Great Gatsby but I don't think so because I've never read that and I am pretty sure I achieved my goal of reading all the books on that list before I graduated.

Sorry, this was all during the school year. I never went to a school that had a summer reading list, probably because all of my schools had a lot of students like me who moved a lot.

The public library where I lived at the end of my sophomore year had a summer reading program but it was contemporary fiction, not literature. All the other library summer reading programs I encountered over the years were either for grade schoolers or adults and they didn't allow high school students to join.
