Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're doing a lot better than me. Although it's funny that I was actually assigned to read a couple of those in high school. Some of them are just mindboggling, though. Why on earth are people banning Roald Dahl? Madeline L'Engle I can understand, she gets kind of racy at times, but seriously? What is wrong with them? (Yeah, I read a lot in middle school.)

mkehrt is right, you should absolutely read The Giver, it is excellent.
