[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were reading books like Clan of the Cave Bear, The King Must Die, Mists of Avalon, 100 Years of Solitude, and Unbearable Lightness of Being at my Catholic school in the 90s.  And yes, many of those were as Freshmen.  Calm down.[/quote]

Not as class reading.

You were not discussing those books in class.[/quote]

Yes, we absolutely were.  Every single one of those was required reading.[/quote]

I am very curious to know what Catholic school (or any school) was assigning Clan of the Cave Bear as required reading.  I mean, that book is pretty trashy.  I had a teacher that assigned purely trashy romance novels, but I think she was doing that tbecause she was 100% bored of being a teacher and that was her way of "quiet quitting" back before quiet quitting was a thing.  (She was kind of a pioneer that way...).  [/quote]

It was for the pre-history portion of World History, freshman year (it was actually the first book we read freshman year, alongside The King Must Die in literature). And the first in the series is carefully researched historical fiction - they become more "romance" novel after the first one.[/quote]
