A lot of them were required reading for me about 6 or 7 years ago, (Mice and Men, Catcher in the Rye [favorite book ever, by the way], etc).
One thing that I was surprised to see on there and then had a "hmm. Yeah, I guess I see why" moment was the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice.
I got the first one out of curiosity when I was about 19 and had NOOO idea what book I had just bought. At that time I hadn't even discovered Anita Blake and that first book was worlds beyond Anita and, yeah, I still think 'omg' just recalling what I DID read. And I'm not a prude. Promise.
It was ... disturbing.
So, there's my two cents. I guess all I was trying to say was that not all the books are on the same level as say ... To Kill a Mockingbird or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
