Grade 9 - To Kill a Mockingbird (overrated) and Romeo and Juliet (good)

Grade 10 - Obasan (boring but I think if I reread it as an adult, I’d appreciate more) and Taming of the Shrew (I don’t remember it much)

Grade 11 - Frankenstein (not bad) and MacBeth (liked it)

Grade 12 - Handmaid’s Tale (Loved it) and Hamlet (really liked it)

These were required readings chosen by the teacher. We also had to read one book (usually a classic) of our own choosing, each year.

I once heard it recommended to read three books at a time. A fiction, a non-fictional and a biography/autobiography/memoir. I sometimes do this and I do really like it.

Does not get better. Only finished it because it was an easy read and I could zip through it in two or three days but it was so disappointing.
