Romeo and Juliet are confusing?
I liked the books we had to read in my high school. If I remember correcly, our list consisted of:
Speak
Raisin in the Sun
Macbeth
The Tempest
Romeo and Juliet
Lord of the Flies
To kill a Mockingbird
I know why the Caged Bird Sings (or something like that)
Taming of the Shrew
Oedipus Rex
Antigone
Huckleberry Finn
One flew over the Cuckoos nest
Of Mice and Men
Hamlet
My faves were Hamlet, Of Mice and Men, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The others were pretty good too, but I just couldn't get into Maya Angelou; too boring for me. Like many people mentioned, most of these books did teach me something and when I read them I can see why they are still being read to this day.
