If you Could choose one book as a mandatory read for high schoolers, what book would you choose?

Of Mice and Men I think. Reading it then and reading it now is kinda interesting on how my views on it has changed over the years

I think every adult should read 1984 at least once. Given the kind of things that are given to teens to read now at school (I know because I've taught English Literature to that age group) I'd say 1984 is milder than some of those books, so maybe that; or at least Animal Farm.

@PhilDeep 1984 is what the democrats are doing to the USA.

@PhilDeep Every adults yes but the question was what high school kids should read. I personally think it's too boring for a teenage attention span. Too much politics.
