and that was released in 1954. Would any more recent books be good enough to be considered "required reading" for school?

I read it in school, and was disturbed by the kids dropping a boulder on a kid's head and murdering him. I guess it prepares us for modern society. I don't even know anymore. That bar is kinda low.

To Kill A Mockingbird is a few years newer.

I had to read the Joy Luck Club in school, not sure if many other schools carried it.

To Kill a Mockingbird came out in 1960.

In Cold Blood (Capotes famous book) came out in the mid 60s.

There were other newer books too I had to read but they were more flavor of the month.

That's older than Lord of the Flies.
