What are some books that you were assigned to read that you actually enjoyed? What are your "classics"?
I want to read more books that are more generally well known. Some of the titles I was assigned have been:
Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Frankenstein, The Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, The House on Mango Street

I liked lord of the flies to the point where i pretty much memorized it in high school while writing the essay we had to do.

>>15950 (OP)
I hated House on Mango Street when I read it in high school. I never gave a fuck about spics. The fact that it was about some minority living in modern US whining turned me off to it immediately because it had nothing to do with things I cared for at that time: heroism and glory although I still care about those things, I have found others. Great Gatsby was nicely written but wasted on mundane, trivial things in my opinion.

You know, I really enjoyed the Martian Chronicles. We had the choice between Slaughterhouse 5, Martian Chronicles and one other book I can't remember. I decided on the scifi one, and honestly while I don't remember any of the specifics, I do remember it being an enjoyable read.
Also have to agree with >12972 that Lord of the Flies was amazing, hands down.
