Goodreads "Read These in School - Liked Them Anyway" - Page 3

This list is the flip side of my earlier challenge "Goodreads Users Read These in School - Would Have Preferred a Root Canal." Some very off-the-beaten-track books in the 2nd half of this list, at least for reading at school.
Only books that received 2 or more votes were included.
