[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of Dickens
Lord of the Flies
Moby Dick

And so many more. I'm actually kinda annoyed that I never had to read any of these for school. And I went to one of the top private high schools in the country. [/quote]

I went to school in NE Europe(former SU) and had to  read something from Dickens,Bronte and Austen,Poe,Shaw's plays,Orwell,Wells.I also read and Lord of the Flies, Moby Dick and Cather in the Rye(title didn't make any sense in my mother tongue). The big Russian novels were a must of course.
 Hemingway (The  Old man and the Sea), Stendhal, Eric Marie Remarque, Goethe, Balzac (Father Goriot), Cervantes and even Garcia Marquez were also part of the program.From Remarque I chose to to read All Quiet on the Western Front.
I also went to a top school, but all schools had pretty much the same programs along with  several languages.
Any good any of the schooling did me, hard to find people to talk about the classics. The romance novels seem to be the books to read.Anyhow, there are still many classics I haven't read, but I promised to read them when I'm an old retired lady.[/quote]
