10 Books to Read Even if You Did Read Them in High School
Let's be honest for a minute... those high school summer reading lists were no fun. And then the required reading while in English classes were often more boring than the summer list... yet, there are some gems in those lists that all of us probably could use to read and learn from no matter how long ago high school was for us.
So while many of us are tight on time when it comes to read, these classics, and modern classics, might be worth our time to dig out and dive into.
Besides, do you even remember what books you read in high school? Or college? Or even which ones you grabbed sparknotes for... I guess that is what Goodreads does for many kids today...
Does sparknotes, cliff notes, or pink monkey even still exist? Are they used?? But anyway, I digress...
Alright, I will be honest, I was assigned all of these in high school and/or college, but I don't remember reading them all...

The Scarlet Letter was really good. I enjoyed reading that in school. I absolutely despised A Tale of Two Cities. It bored me to tears unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteThe writing style of the Scarlet Letter is easy to fly through so I think it's certainly a more enjoyable classic read. And Dickens had a style that is not like books today at all, which certainly impacts the readability... but the story impacted so many other writers which is why I have it on this list... but yeah I get it how it was boring
DeleteI love comments!!
