nah 11th grade..

I found the best school novel was "the outsiders"



Ive been trying for weeks to read this fucking book... only on page 32


Would have to agree with this I also liked where the red fern grows but we read that in like 6th grade.
I realy didn't like to kill a mocking bird but most everyone else in my class did so IDK.

To Kill a Mockingbird was great, movie was pretty damn good for b/w

I really liked flowers for algernon i think we read that in 10th grade.

In my school we read To Kill a Mockingbird in grade 9 as well as the Lord of the Flies, and Romeo and Juliet.

All Great books, but if you can handle a dry read, you should definitely pick up the book "Grapes of Wrath" and "The Color Purple"

Yeah, it's ok but as I've said before and I'm sure you'll agree. Of Mice and Men is a much better classical American example of good lit.
