The majority of books you are assigned to read in class are going to be miserable, if only for the fact that you are assigned to read them. However, a few are able to overcome this obstacle and actually be enjoyable.
The most enjoyable book I was assigned in high school was Sophie's World. While it is certainly no classic, it was a fun and light introduction to philosophy, which I have since become capitvated with. Opening Skinner's Box has been my favorite non-fiction of my college career thus far, which was assigned for my introductory psychology class. I also enjoyed The Bacchae by Euripides very much. Yours? |

A Brave New World in college. Also, a lot of Shakespeare.
Dante's Inferno was badass in high school. Also, Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass and Emily Dickinson. I loved Call of the Wild and Where the Red Fern Grows in junior high. |
