My highschool world literature list was quite extensive, had to read at least one, more often two or three books from all of these authors: Shakespeare, Hugo, Camus, Moliere, Hesse, Ibsen, Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Bulgakov, Hemingway, Remarque, Kundera, Kafka, Garcia Marquez, Huxley

I surely am forgetting many. This was about 50% of compulsory reading and the more enjoyable part, the rest was my home country authors that I mostly disliked due to rather depressing historical fiction.
