I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

    I read The Giver in the sixth grade and it blew my mind a little bit. I think it was the first time I was exposed to the concept of a dystopian society and it was very interesting to me. Then later in 10th grade I read Catch-22 for a book report and that is definitely up there too.
