Some really turgid Victorian novels like Bleak House (Dickens) and The Return of the Native (Hardy).

Smith by Leon Garfield (brilliant book, recently re-read)

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo (hated it)

Fireweed by Jill Paton Walsh (fantastic)

Lord of the Flies (hated)

There were more and a lot of Shakespeare, war poetry etc

I'm old and did English Lit O Level. I remember doing Chaucer's Prologue, Twelfth Night and An Inspector Calls. I don't remember doing any novels or stories which is a bit odd.
A Level novels were The Rainbow, Wuthering Heights and Slaughterhouse Five. Loads of poetry.

Far too many to list!

Did you only read two?
