What's a book you read in school that you actually enjoyed quite a lot?
I really liked To Kill a Mockingbird even though I barely remember it.

I had to look that one up. Looks like I barely missed that one, I had just aged out of the target demographic when it was published. Huh, it won a Newbery, so it must be good! Wait, what the heck, this book sounds like it was huge, how did I now hear of this before? Ok, well, I guess I gotta pick up a copy now.
I liked Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I felt To Kill a Mocking Bird was only ok, although I got pretty confused in some of the court scenes.
In High School
Of Mice and Men
The Old Man and the Sea
Both are easy reads, but I found a lot of depth in them in my formative years. Things don't always go as planned, but we carry on.
In Uni
Catch-22, I genuinely laughed out loud at so much, it still helps me laugh at infuriating bureaucracy.
Fear and Loathing in LV.
Both for an Americal Lit elective, read everything I could find by HST afterwards.
Probably To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451 were my two favorites from my high school years.
