Our Retired English Teacher's 100 Book Quiz - Page 2

In the 1960s, when I was in high school, adults were frightened that comic books, monster magazines, and television were rotting our brains, so there was a big move in school to have us (make us) "read the classics". Publishers got into the act by creating inexpensive paperback imprints, the best of which were the Signet Classics series and the Mentor Library series, both from New American Library.. Here are 100 of those classics they tried to make us read, pictured in the original editions from 60+ years ago.
