Lord of the flies and the Alchemist. lotf was such a slow and boring book our teacher decided never to use it again lmao. The Alchemist, however was an extremely amazing book, would recommend it to anyone whos at a point in their life where they need to make a huge life decision and don't know how
1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, Things Fall Apart are all books I've had to read in my english classes.
edit: i liked 1984 because i like stuff about dystopias and animal farm because it was just interesting to read about animals talking and stuff without it being a kids book.

To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, and Hamlet
gatsby was shit to be honest, i have no idea why so many people enjoyed it nor why its praised so highly
reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, pretty good book about an olympic distance runner who fought in ww2
Beloved, The Bluest Eye, and 100 Years of Solitude were my favorites.
my least favorite by far was "their eyes were watching god" which i read when I was a junior. its the only book I gave up half way through
My favorite was probably Animal Farm or the Great Gatsby

Ender's Game, Ender in Exile, Speaker For the Dead. Speaker For the Dead is incredible, and you don't need to read the other two if you don't want to, it can stand alone.
Animal Farm, The Canterbury Tales, Brave New World, Inherit the Wind, Beowulf. Also read quite a lot of Shakespeare.
Books I read on my own were probably But Beautiful, a book about jazz, and Devil in the White City, a book about the Chicago World's Fair and the serial killer who operated during it.
Favorite curriculum books were Hamlet, if that counts as a book, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and Paradise Lost. Although The Hill Road was a great short story collection.

To kill a mockingbird, the boy in the striped pajamas, Romeo and juliet and Macbeth
Lord of the Flies is a super boring book until the last quarter where shit gets ramped up to 11 real quick and the kids...
To Kill a Mocking Bird is pretty good, plus I had a buddy write an essay about how Boo Radley is secretly gay, and how the whole book is a metaphor for him coming out of the closest. I think he got a decent mark from it too because he backed it up pretty well.
Everything by Shakespeare was long, boring, and confusing, but Midsummer Night's Dream was by far the worst.
