Apparently something you could see featured in a high school curriculum
Easy to read, straightforward themes and morals, just challenging enough so it can be classified as literature but still approachable for new readers

A redpill that a lot of “entry level” stuff is also “exit level”. A lot of those beginner books are the best in literature

tfw the list is literally shit you read in high school english class

They don't give out entertaining or interesting books, instead, they give out boring shit that just makes you hate reading.

>tfw you never read these in high school because literally all of your teachers assumed you would be assigned these books by other teachers and just had you read random bullshit instead

yeah kek i read To Kill A Mockingbird, 1984, Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451, Great Gatsby, Of Mice and Men, Dorian Gray, Lord of the Flies, AND Huckleberry Finn in school. Some in middle school, not even in high school. And I've heard of some of the others being taught in school as well.
i guess that's the point of "introductory" literature though.
