Since those wouldn't be the same anyway. I'm talking about the fact that you seem to find it normal that someone would've had to read a significant number of specifically assigned books even by age 15. I think I can count the amount of books we'd been assigned by that age on the fingers of two hands, possibly one, and some of those weren't even really literature, Dead White Man or otherwise. I've always had the impression that American schools were very literature-heavy, but it seems I now have to add the non-American English-language schools to that as well.
