I'm not sure which books were assigned at what time, let alone 80% of the books that were actually assigned. I know I read Little Women in second grade, but I can't remember if that was assigned or not... I also read Jane Eyre in fourth grade and Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion sometime between then and eighth grade. Not assigned, but I liked them all. The Outsiders was assigned in fifth grade and some other books we read through the years were: Charlotte's Web (it was okay), Tuck Everlasting (loved it), Where the Red Fern Grows (possibly 8th grade? hated it - a lot), To Kill a Mockingbird (love it)... Wayside School is Falling Down was cute... I think we read Amelia Bedelia in first or second grade?

In high school, we read Catcher in the Rye, Red Sky at Morning (liked it a lot), The Street Lawyer (eh...and my teacher stole my homework for this one ; we had to choose a character and continue the story in their perspective - I chose Ruby and I think I did pretty well, got a good grade, she said she liked it, but I never got it back; boo-hoo, I want to see it again, lol)... Sigh. I wish we could have read more of them by ourselves, but as it was, we had to read a lot of them together in class, whether all the way through that way or some in class and some ourselves... I, for one, don't comprehend as well when I'm hearing it and I couldn't stand to listen and read at the same time because several of the people in my class couldn't read very well, whether it was due to ability or their way of reading in monotone.

Sorry, you weren't talking about the whole time in school, only elementary school. Hehe, I got carried away.
