Required Reading You Didn't Hate

As summer ends and the kids prepare to head back to school, our thoughts naturally return to the required reading we were forced to endure the last time we sat in a classroom. The books that spring quickly to my mind are William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, John Knowles’ A Separate Peace, and Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, three books which I would be happy to never see again in my life. Now, we know that not all required reading makes you question the sanity of your English teacher. So, we asked you what were the books on your required reading list that you enjoyed. (Enjoyed might be too strong of a word. Liked? Tolerated? Didn’t throw across the room in a fit of frustration and boredom?) So, without further ado, here is the list of required reading you—didn’t hate.
