The problem is that most of the great contemporary works of literature were written by grad students for reading by grad students and professors.

DFW was very critical of this trend, but ultimately succumbed to it. Teachers aren't going to try to get high school kids to read a 1,000 page novel with 100 pages of footnotes.

Required reading:

The Odyssey
Romeo and Juliet
The Crucible
Of Mice and Men
Beowulf
Hamlet
Frankenstein
Lord of the Flies
The Great Gatsby
Antigone
Farenheit 451
Catcher in the Rye

Personal reading for a grade:

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Siddhartha
The Divine Comedy
The Road
The Old Man and the Sea

Can't remember the rest
