Books That Should Be Required Reading in High School

I cannot tell you how many "meh"-books I´ve been assigned in High School. Most of them killed my love for reading, and they didn´t give me much: wheter it was IQ or EQ. However, I think these 31 books should be put in the hands of every teeneage student.
