Question:

English teacher favourites?

Can you recommend some great (not too long) books you've read?
Especially any ones that your school English teachers made you read, that were worth reading.

Thanks!

Here is my list of 'English teacher' books that I like:

The Outsiders (I loved it!)
Fahrenheit 451 (great quotes/lines in it!)
A Policeman calls (possibly the best play I know)
The Catcher in the Rye
The Kite-runner
Q and A
Montana 1948
Of Mice and Men

Jasper - thanks for your suggestions! I'd love to read more S.E.Hinton (The Outsiders author). I've just requested the two books you mentioned from the library, as well as the Illustrated Man (by Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451).

Someone mentioned: The Giver and The Diary of Anne Frank - great books!

I also loved Homecoming (Cynthia Voigt). And Winter of Fire (Sheryl Jordan. My favourite book once upon a time).
