Besides Fahrenheit I never read any of Bradbury's other works. Must be because of that awful mini-series "The Martian Chronicles".
Never read any of Terry Pratchett's works. The only YA type books I read were by RAH. Plus I was never in to Fantasy.

I remember reading Lord of the Flies more than once, so I must've liked it.

Funny I read it more than once as well. But that was because I was switched from the Remedial English class to the Normal English class. I had also read
The Scarlet Letter before I was required to read it for my Normal English class. So I did really good on the exams for those books.
We had to read Dicken's
A tale of two cities. I kinda liked the movie better since the book just dragged on and on at the pace the class was reading it, it was the "Major Book" of that term or something. I was thinking the whole time "I've seen Star Trek II- I know how this ends..."
I had to read
The Perl which I thought was a "alright" book. But...
The only other book I remember reading for school was "Flight of the Intruder" when we got to pick our own book for a final project. I aced it, I also had the distinction of being the one to cause the computer showing our "Mac PowerPoint Ripoff" presentation to break down. (Hay it was nearly half a Meg... that was huge back then!)
Funny thinking back about doing a project on a book about an endless war and psychological trauma, because before that project we had our "write anything paper for college prep" project. I chose threats of WMD from third world countries. I turned this paper in on September 10, 2001.
When I got the paper back written in the margin near a section on I think it was missile defense or what not the teach had wrote, "Not if they use our own planes."
