When I was in Junior High School, “Go Ask Alice” was required reading.

I must be older than you. Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton were required reading for us. We read "Catcher in the Rye" in secret.

Class of '82 here. Catcher in the Rye was required reading at my high school. Also required were 1984, The Hobbit (which I'd already read), and Fahrenheit 451, in addition to a few classics. (We read Judy Blume's "Wifey" in secret.)

Then in college, our English professor assigned James Joyce and Kurt Vonnegut.
