If high school teachers taught only books that students read for pleasure, the curriculum would be all YA novels and comic books. Assigned reading isn't purely for fun; it's to expand literary horizons and teach critical thinking.

(Not denigrating comic books, many are truly literature, but there's a vast difference between something like Maus or Watchmen and Superman: At Earth's End.)
