There's none. Not many interesting books are discussed in school; my school's library only contains textbooks. This is the downside of the Indonesian education system; even people working in the field of education don't read many books.

I am here in India! I just love the stories by the author "Ruskin Bond"! I read and enjoyed his stories during my school days; I even enjoy reading them now. :D
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)

Fahrenheit 451 is to this day one of my all time favorite books. It engrained me even further the importance of books and access to them for everyone.

I also really enjoyed MacBeth and the Crucible

We read through "The Hobbit" as a group activity. I probably wouldn't have chosen that book on my own, so I'm glad that we read it.

There were some I couldn't enjoy, but for the most part, I appreciated the books my school chose, particularly in world literature courses that exposed me to writing from around the world. Some favorites off the top of my head were: Hamlet, The Interpreter of Maladies, and Things Fall Apart.
