    I was required to read both of those books for school. I’d say they’re already required reading, or at least were.

      They weren’t in any English class I took. We had books like Thing Fall Apart by Chinuo Achebe alongside things like To Kill A Mockingbird, but not the ones I mentioned as required.

      I ended up picking up Animal Farm as part of a thing where we had to pick a library book and do various things with the reading. And 1984 was a book I happened to pick up in my spare time.

      Definitely books I should read again some time soon.
