I’d be curious what books are mandatory in the school systems in other countries. Here I read To Kill a Mockingbird but not for school. We did read Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and the Taming of the Shrew in high school.
I read many of the books others listed, except Potter, but few were for school.
We read Lord of the Flies, and Roll of Thunder Head My Cry.
I did read To Kill a Mockingbird for school, also Macbeth (twice, switched schools it was 8th grade honors at one and senior honors english at the other), Emma, Huckleberry Finn, The Wizard of Earthsea and The Scarlet Letter.
I never read To Kill a Mockingbird, Taming of the Shrew, or most of Lissa’s list really, but did read Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, and Lord of the Flies for school.
Did you guys only have to do one book/year? We usually did one shakespeare play/year, but multiple books (at least 3/year)
I live in the Caribbean so we read latin american authors in school. Books from Gabriel García Marquez like Chronicle of a Death Foretold, and “La Llamarada” by Enrique Laguerre. We also read Don Quijote, and The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes an anonymous spanish novella and a few others I don’t recall plus a few books about poetry. Pablo Neruda comes to mind.
We did lord of the flies and roll of thunder xx

The Power of Positive Thinking–Norman Vincent Peale
I’ve never even heard of this one!
Published more than 3 decades ago
I’ve read very few of the books on this list lol…. I don’t really read classic literature, mostly just newer books.
I think most classics posted were from school curriculums…no choice but to read them for class/marks.
Well I never actually read them even when I was in school I skimmed them for answers but never actually read any besides Far From The Madding Crowd my senior year
My dear sisters i think reading classic books enables you to add more values. And as to my experience there are so many classic books which do not related to school curriculums. Ex. The books of Dr. Tuesday L. Rampa…Albert Camus…Eckhart Tolle…Paulo Coelho…George Orwell…Kahlil Gibran…Nejib Mahfuz…Chinua Achebe…Krishnamurti…J.P. Sartre…Ayn Rand…Leo Tolstoy…Maxim Gorkey…Alexiy Tolstoy…Feydor Dostoevsky…Anton Ckehov…Franz Kafka…etc
I haven’t heard of a single one of these…. I just don’t enjoy reading classics they don’t hold my attention and I end up not reading at all when I try to read them, also I can never visualize a story when reading classics since I can barely visualize while reading newer books
i have red george orwel and poulo coelho

The only thing I can gather from reading these comments, is that we’re all very different & all like different books. From what I can tell, even considering books many of us read for school, there’s no one book that every single one of us has read! I would say a play by Shakespeare is the one thing most of us will have read, purely as most students in a lot of countries have to study at least one play, but I’m sure there are many, many countries where they don’t study Shakespeare at all!
I would say that in the UK the books most likely to have been read by many (still not all) are Of Mice & Men or To Kill a Mockingbird. This is because they have been studied since the late ’60s at the least (my mum studied OMAM back in the early ’70s, but they were probably studied even earlier than this!) It is only this year that they have been taken off of the curriculum, which is a great shame.
