I read Of Mice and Men in a day. On Christmas Day 1988. I sobbed my way through Christmas dinner and it still moves me to tears today. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the all time greats in literature in my opinion. Children today have as much to learn from the issues in both these books as they did in the 80's when I read them and the 60's when they were written. It frustrates me that Gove can ditch them on a whim and there seems to be nothing we can do about it.
So let's compile a list of other greats that Gove may want to slash.

So To Kill A Mockingbird and Of Mice And Men are to be cut from gcse curriculum? Perhaps we should compile a list for Gove of books that moved and inspired us as teenagers to add to his slash list?
