Weird.

I went to high school in suburban Colorado - Evangelical capital of the world, maybe - and it wasn't in our curriculum at all. Interesting how such a significant religious archetype for western consideration didn't make its way into our schedule. I wonder if it was decided against due to content. Or maybe it's considered blasphemy because it's not the literal word of the bible.

As a High School sophomore, we read stuff like The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath. And a plethora of poetry. Lots of Poe. My teacher was eccentric, but cool in that not-so-cool English teacher sort of way.

Just thought I'd share.

Maybe the Evangelicals hate the Catholic undertones in Dante? Dunno.

And now that I think about it, I read it junior year... sophomore year we spent on Fitzgerald, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Poe, Hemingway, and Steinbeck.

And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I read Dante's Inferno in 9th Grade in Public School, but it was *hush hush*. It was on the BANNED BOOKS list, and our teacher was bent on reading banned books throughout the year (ironically including Fahrenheit 451)

As for my suggestion,
Philip K Dicks "Do Androids Dreams of Electric Sheep?"
1. Robots and shit
2. It doesn't seem that long. (~200 pages)

well anyways, that's what I'm going to read.

Blade Runner > "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

Which is rare, for the movie to be vastly better than the book, but they are actually very different stories. Not that the book isn't really good.
