Which Books have you had to read for school?

I forgot to add more that one of these... meaning you have read two or more of these.., or all of them.

i'm in eighth grade and about half of those books we're reading next year, so unfortunately i can't check any off yet :(

to add to the list... BTW... most of these books are really good (in my opinion) and you should look forward to reading them..

Romeo and Juliet, The Odyssey, and some others

Babbit is an awkward turtle.

I didn't really enjoy reading them... mabye romeo and juliet... but, in the end, romeo just shows up as a wimp!

I really didn't like that play. But the Osyssey is way worse than the others by far!

How does one prove their existance?

I think it is kinda weird how odysseus kinda decided to take the hard way out of everyting.. and how he stayed with cylpso like for 8 years

They just pick books that have either proved valuable in the past or are of great interest to them.

One teacher of mine took our American Literature class and turned it into Asian Literature halfway through the year. Truly saddening. I had to go out and read Hemingway on my own.

I really want to read A Farwell to Arms, and some collected short stories by him... He is a perfect example of a classic writer, who's stories never seem to get old :)
