In Scotland in mid-90s we did Sunset Song, Of Mice and Men, Lord of the Flies, Streetcar, Chaucer, Macbeth, poetry by Larkin, Heaney and Edwin Morgan. Best part were coursework essays where we could choose our own books. I did Gibsonβs Neuromancer and Mocking Bird/Beloved Country/Wrightβs Black Boy
