I’m in the mood to re-read one of the “classics” I would have had to read in high school – which sadly is when i never actually read books and relied heavily on Spark Notes 😅 what are some of your favorites?
Not sure if these books are popularly read in all schools in the U.S. but I’m thinking like Of Mice and Men, In Cold Blood, The Great Gatsby, 1984, Poisonwood Bible, The Color Purple, Crime and Punishment, etc – those are ones that immediately come to mind

Rereading Grapes of Wrath as an adult absolutely hit different
If you are saying you haven’t read 1984, you totally should! It’s weird, parts of 1984 almost seem cliché because Orwell created the genre and it has been pulled from and borrowed from and copied over and over since it was first published.
David Copperfield
The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly. I read it as a child but it was not for the children, it sounds different and deep, and it is also a lot of fun.
I appreciated Moby Dick as an adult much more than I did as a teenager.
Opposite direction: I read The Great Gatsby in high school. Loved it. Decided to reread it when I was in my 30s and I could not fathom why I had liked it at one point 😅
