Here's the ones I have read:
To Kill a Mockingbird![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vz9QDMf4OvKp8gBBIWrAPF7GhJRXAkcGiKFonE9URmsAh4IARJouXHBzYjJXQIoWC6ntDfbPoF1_EBGnQZv-boO8RTU_D1CgDdTGlNCivmZWW873NZYT2x2LPkJtyqBZh_n7CWk6TXgbtMCiMOL6o=s0-d)
- I read it first in 7th grade and again several times as an adult. If you haven't read it again, do it now.
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_shJvl6nbvIMImenzuLUHF_UcMNfyQgXHdB_L5jvFb1BQoa6u9-8B_Q8zdEmTlSgDXlZLMrbH71zoAng_r7FirLf4M7SvI9EdYEg12qtddO0PBDa0fLpzItQBBIUBNsUWcQGGPH6qhqLuKyOc-bV2c=s0-d)
- I read it in 5th or 6th grade, need to reread it again
1984 - I think 11th grade. It's scary how much of this became true.
Charlotte's Web![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vFlX8ThLP_5EaGGoU9U3ysINSE3k2YXf2OyQQudqmPV5MIHW-4oXRsuGiYGnWjdwqAeKQWxV1jQFngfvCOIcKMfCxseDmZQ-WrmncY8F9I7Yc24x-cfcL4rcH6Ndc55fSPpVZJvjP2o91Lng28kw=s0-d)
- I've read it more times than I can count. My favorite childhood book; neither of my kids were interested in reading it.
Gone with the Wind![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uW1QN-Yh5Xv0AEmq02GjHcxg8NiCbm0JSeA85RPoc_e3MeIYwv_utNyp-Y6i0wxmAYGePEfdPOFBuLRQmn1Q8AJt3EZc6L85SzhVW7Z0PvENeNYa-IAbZET4-aXLS5HxDqVk566PJUYGtkxO37_Xc=s0-d)
- Just as good as the movie
Animal Farm - read it either before or after 1984....4 legs good, 2 legs bad!
The Catcher in the Rye![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uUfUpH3_q33SO0QR4SJs1Fh01H-LBW1tiXp5gw-zYQfK3hhY29ZfyMSu7yDGQCXKprXN06bFMAPAB_gmdur35OtsWl0ydLB375dsty6HlMZfIfzXlpUNleikQdjI2EED6io0BPYlyxtgUrrWdtVjE=s0-d)
- freshman year of college...I read every depressing coming of age book in existence. This is the top of the heap.
The Help![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tajnkSIgbaK3fieAn8IIUmcn3t9hXDeLkPzEJPJdUHlRCseUnZgCX_mUxraqzkwfvkueDsiN4DDcgREfbLAFHu3vdXCgu-YuAv4RVzgUcgfe3U9hVrXHZC-UWA8ZkMAdcnvn0AgafThGL5fhWAF-8=s0-d)
- Really? Hardly a classic. I read this for book club. It's okay, but it didn't rock my world, except for I still want to make a caramel cake.
The Grapes of Wrath![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_s6qQE4EuIud4WNz0FAPwES4mQ2Z6KSrqE3riZIrlEe_nNM2OdhnkkqmOaVYZsQXC27jzi9kM3YSz2hAzRnMY86KUZdZ8xlzecJNsxkVUNseO3jIALbRJz6j5ZYuvr8uYDBdWnmQVNdr6Y--rA92U4=s0-d)
- like many people, I was forced to read it in high school, but was glad I did.
Hamlet![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vb3MQpk7sv9s5z1snFiPl7epDg1FfxdMf7DOH6kck4UDZqwWR94HZyO77y8-l1N9_lHIKPyYC5btJGojmvU9a5XsnZ-ED_76RvmvE9QBg0jaJ_AinN3npDilRwYXgQ-4CZort53Ie6SAuQAliO4g=s0-d)
- doesn't everyone have to read this in high school? I went on a major Shakespeare binge after reading it and also took Shakespeare in college.
Of Mice and Men![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_ttKaKywezI1STp1dx0we_0DLCKWUQOskUCDWV9e20q9aYKT3Aa-I2yCy2MKvpOnP-Zihr1RZKFpyAYN_CwaanHfB7KAsNglq_3ikGNAUK6hQQYoHcvTiv0uTjSZyd1I9SM-RkipHbH-tDgko0v=s0-d)
- another forced read in high school, I thought it was great and I finally got the Bugs Bunny cartoon based on the characters.
The Secret Garden![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uhUaFtMKG7jFgSHvAju-mlKlgnTn2z1X0jVwVBWiJVxBRJXeijiYlmK95l8D0XaZIxef24G0waeb8kbevRrPagNxhjTstptFIgquCB-2gcUhde_N1X5WOijzRja9EfIAmz7ORjwiRHcv9EZrmI4mU=s0-d)
- Loved, loved, loved this book as a girl!
Romeo and Juliet![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sjLt3ieff2j5dmRlUPpwq0ZW3cYWngn-IW0vCkitmqVrtXBaXhRPrymz3m3Dx1VTH6DgEna97wP2gQmBhgk3tbDWGAF74ZkgO7KA7_fLfB9wHKQXoRIZTuXE_YfFD60DNCiKt55NVzJOxD2L5OCHg=s0-d)
- see other comments about W.S.
The Handmaid's Tale![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tA3BAhnp2IbZU-t_ZJ7cHUyjCGBk0yv26lrnPyz03vZzycYYwAQ48AQSBAZ5Ira1AeSjMPaVld6zASFyYge6ani45BDIJlcLWO3sOy7hIvBwu5fpup9u2X57jQt6vHFmH5CSjCigKpw5JBOex70E8=s0-d)
- another depressing book about the future....I read it when I was a senior in high school, pretty much coincidentally with.....
Brave New World
Wuthering Heights - too bad high school kids don't read this one any more like I had to...It's creepy!
Macbeth - considering my Shakespeare fetish, you would think I'd have loved the movie "Shakespeare in Love". I did not.
The Fault in Our Stars![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uh2aixmhwanRiNKsJN65vjH1aBC5wNE-AUR4wN_TOe03S5VG9_Hold8FFrIEDtzDzRahlNnpdCNpZB2z3nvHRQvESY0F0dCrwMUbtFOi4opcbVgwpMrsP2pbRa7_PrYmHDY9SNP3-b2FFoPxGubw=s0-d)
- a modern book, destined to be a classic. I loved it.
In Cold Blood![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u740Lm8QpnVB3uQV8JEdSMYcedOpMuEXDBtfiTHapzzufBpQHVW0qwnFDnDpZnVmwHLFwrcLWS7tYgqexVSJ_X8GaqH8-lblK4YJI_XKR_QTPdE1tzOv8aEtRgojbPMh6vgQl6woJLgP9ffJgRiD0=s0-d)
- I couldn't put it down when I read it. Fascinating!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vROHDbzmt2d9_AkuJAjwIxkaqNtMY6F2ClfADYdWWeUIS_M878oMkelIcEYVB45_f4dHQQwAJZbU8hlJIIRnZpxQeKiH6s_6VRWvhTQelwIOgsnXN0cKiPNe0ZjaoUHaLFa2QpmnQiEMbsbcacmw=s0-d)
- my 2nd favorite book as a kid, next to Charlotte's Web. Pure genius.
The Scarlet Letter![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sc7SGjYY6s-lBEloKMoc8t9GWcIc7nC6lPhkjwtPeO3AaXAWarZFPBVX8Tb2DvjitiMZALy5XgtPfuhKzBBeVIzyuihPvMU4hEvjENeO2BRaGZnycUw3ysLn17t9dpr77YaQxOfEWv9zRVioSykg=s0-d)
- I forced read in high school, now kids don't read it. How will they catch the reference when people say "the scarlet letter"?
Water for Elephants - a ladies book club favorite; it's better than "The Help"
The Raven![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tk5MVnB1gjtp0VGbEuc3Eq-HTolz7kZoyC9JLe2nUHyD6QtaD94dgmmeKvj-IGXqUXpDZyvcg_Go2uTgoMxiHXX2SCsqZf79rfFsAxv_A41u5KI6ZYgg7Hs6oyBTTrZPaeOA2dy-qzKV2Lcavtjg=s0-d)
- glad a poem made the list
The Time Traveler's Wife - I don't really like fantasy books, this one included
The Odyssey ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sIODwzjo6XIlNDtX-Y33JwmDLr56tBiRQxFSgAA0OcRWSQ_i0tAemp2swyhtoPiToGXaPCrpOBp0KeiFn_SXQvVFBgNfgST4KFw0TtVTrBrILruV9zER-2T6LlM0MWHrkNinFlzKvIQ50g_gYbjrg=s0-d)
- high school again! I haven't read it since but have seen "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" a million times
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vOp3lXArMHShNF14dS4RTEt6pcie-jZ3e1hjZRyK5g5amlEHdev_32A5tieA57E-5o_bYGg2p0EO5GfPdFFeJhHxDjUTptiQtwfr9QLN3cVIyBxWlLc2_CEMTZ3hv4I2hdc4LxvyTgrobxbIfbNrw=s0-d)
