We always had a poster of that on a wall in our primary school and I never knew what it was until much much later. Probably too old to read it now.
My favourite book in highschool/secondary school was either 'the lightening and the sun' by savitri devi or 'erectus walks among us' but I never told anyone about that because of obvious reasons.
East of Eden or The Power and The Glory. I liked the latter so much I went and read Graham Green's account of his trip to Mexico where he just b***hed about how much riding a mule sucked.
I loved The Fountainhead on highschool, I read it three or four times. I tried reading it again in college and was embarrassed by how low quality the writing was.
Slaughterhouse five. When my teacher was explaining each book she got to slaughterhouse five and probably only said one sentence about how it's "too childish for her" but that it was perfect for students. I thought her summary of the book was lazy so I was the only one to pick it and I loved it. Perfect book for people who don't read and who want a clever story without having to read footnotes and chapter summaries
It was macbeth for me, for a gift my gf from high school got me a copy of his complete works. I didn’t really like reading back then but some highlights were The Giver, To Kill A Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Great Gatsby. Lord of the flies was alright same with their eyes were watching god
Romeo and Juliet
Macbeth
Hamlet
Everything else we read was awful
They weren't picked for their literary merit but rather how they represented multiculturalism or feminism

I only read one book during high school, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Toss up between Macbeth and Catcher in the Rye.
