I mean that sucks, because alot of classics are actually good, but very understandable.

I'm only in highschool:

Frankenstein - Great I love the early sci fi and and how it introduced bioethics to me

Lord of the flies - It was a hard read for 9th grade me, but introduced the great human nature debate to me because my teacher made us introductions in hobbes, roussau, and Locke.

Catcher in the rye - It was quite boring but had a few interesting themes about class but completely is lacking in other views on American life of that era. The tragedy is the most redeemable part in my opinion.

Long way down - a very interesting realistic fiction story set in an unknown city like Chicago or New York. It goes over race relations and the cycle of violence in the black community.

Nimona - It was a great queer allegory, and had very compelling world building, and character writing.

Night - It was a very interesting autobiography about Elie Wiesel and his life in Hungary prior and his tome in Aushwitz. Obviously worthwhile read to understand how bad the holocaust was.

Animal Farm - My first introduction to politics outside of the typical American sphere. It was compelling. I love the ending of the pigs becoming exactly like the farmers. Which I see as the marxiat leninist party becoming exactly like the capitalist class.

To Kill a Mockingbird - An interesting view on gender/race relations and its relation to innocence and justice in pre civil rights America.

Macbeth - It was an interesting but not my thing

Romeo and juliet - a classic love story and tragedy but really weird like they are really young

A Raisin in the Sun - It was amazing look at Harlem in the 1950's and shows the diversity in the black community.

Some of the odyssey - Interesting but weird. Odysseus kills the suitors, but he cheated. He is noble but tricks the cyclops. He is a hero, but he saved nine of his crew. It's just weird.

Philosophy, but I'm working on classic literature.
