I read Huck Finn as a HS sophomore and again as an adult. My conclusion was that it’s a masterpiece that is totally wasted on teenagers. Good call dropping it!
Here’s my weird take on requires reading books: I think that they should add “The Martian”, by Andy Weir, to the list. It is extremely well-written, has a solid plot and offers a very optimistic outlook about humanity.
