I was assigned to read almost half of these in high school.

I don't think I actually read any of them. Maybe I actually missed out on something.

A Seperate Peace was good, or at least the 7th grade me thought it was.

When I was in high school we were assigned to read some August Wilson plays which were excellent, such as Fences.

I figured this thread would be flooded with "To Kill a Mockingbird," I am very surprised.

frankenstein and catcher in the rye...

so many more books could have been great if we didn't have to do all the lame work and just got to enjoy the books...

Probably The Forgotten Solider by Guy Sajer this past semester. It details the time Sajer spent as a German solider in WWII.

Nice, that one is high on my list. It was the "freshman book" that everyone had to read at my college.
