Books From Your High School Required Reading List That You Should Totally Read

Chances are the books from your high school reading list are something you never thought you'd want to see again. But it turns out that most of the books we end up loving and talking about were books we read during those precious four years of school lunches, bathroom passes, and gum-covered desks.
But, now, you'd totally get a lot more out of some of the better books on that required reading list. So, maybe it's time for a reunion with your high school syllabi. Never fear: You don't actually have to go hunting through that box of embarrassing memorabilia your mom keeps in the basement. Here's a list of the 21 high school books that deserve a second (ahem, or first, for us slackers) look.
