Oh really? I bet my answer would probably be the same as yours.
I mean, it's not like there is anything wrong with them, I quite enjoy the 'classics', but there are a lot more books and literature to explore. Themes that we can trace through different authors that connect to our lives, more current books about the world we live in or a future that might happen and why are those so prevalent. Challenging our assumptions. It's rubbish that students are expected to wait until university for something like that, if it is even addressed then.
