English Class Books That Are Actually Interesting!
We get it—assigned reading can sometimes feel like a chore. But not all books are dull, and some might actually become your favorites if you give them a chance. Here are a few that are totally worth your time!
📚 "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
This book has courtroom drama, family bonds, and deep themes about justice and race. Plus, Atticus Finch? One of the most legendary fictional dads ever. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on standing up for what’s right.
📚 "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak
This novel is narrated by Death (yes, the Grim Reaper himself), which makes it super unique. It’s set in Nazi Germany and follows a girl who steals books to learn and escape her harsh reality. Emotional, gripping, and beautifully written.
📚 "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas
One of the most talked-about books in recent years, and for good reason. It tackles racial injustice and finding your voice in a world that tries to silence you. If you like books that reflect real-world issues, this one is a must-read.
📚 "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding
Imagine "Survivor," but instead of fun challenges, it’s a bunch of stranded boys turning into chaotic rulers of their own mini society. This book is all about power, human nature, and how things can go seriously wrong without rules.
📚 "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck
Short, tragic, and thought-provoking. It follows two friends chasing the American Dream, but things don’t exactly go as planned. Bonus? It’s an easy read but packed with so much meaning.
Pro tip: Struggling to get through these? Try listening to an audiobook while walking, drawing, or doing chores. It helps so much! 🎧
