We did read 1984 and Brave New World. My group also read The Sun Also Rises which was a pointless book about people getting drunk all the time (reflects the title).
On the other hand, I didn't get to read Out of the Silent Planet and the Lord of the Rings trilogy for book reports. Of course, I screwed up the book report for the second one procrastinating. My senior english teacher was surprised I was ranked as high as I was in my graduating class.
