Books You Remember From School

[ToraBoraDweller]

For English I chose amongst others Macbeth (easier than Hamlet)
for German: Thomas Mann er Zauberberg (lot of pages but easy story)+play by Brecht which even teachers don't understand.
For Dutch Willem Oltmans : De donkere kamer van Damocles(again lots of pages)
,some crap of Harry Mulish(then considered to be a modern and fashionable writer).

Because they all were compulsive reading I hated them all. B)
It's only after finishing highschool that I took up reading for my own pleasure.

The Secret Diaries Of Adrian Mole,To Kill A Mockingbird and Cider With Rosie are three books that spring to mind for me.

Macbeth: I'd never read Shakespeare before and really enjoyed this. I was also Macbeth in the school play!! Quite embarrassing...

The Machinegunners: About a group of kids who find the remains of a German Bomber and steal a machine gun. Enjoyable!!

Brave New World: Had to read it for my exams but couldn't get into it (I was young), so I read Clockwork Orange instead.

To Kill A Mockingbird: Superb

Lord of the Flies: Another book I really enjoyed but had never read until school.

All I can think of at the moment, seems to be similar to a lot of previously lists. Which is worrying - all of us educated with the same books.

That's because everybody was using the same excerpts.

Of all the book I have read for school assignments, two stand out among the rest.

In high school I read Trinity by Leon Uris. In college I read Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley.

I recommend both novels, as they are among my all time favorites.
