Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books That You Wish Were Taught In Schools 

*in no particular order

Oh this one's tough! Not sure how many of my books need to be taught in schools since I don't read contemps and am choosing the second topic choice!

A few of these actually were taught in school or in my classes and I just want to pick them again to reiterate the need for them to be taught!

1. THE PRINCESS BRIDE

by William Goldman

Love the book! Love the movie! It needs to be taught!

2. THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

by Alexandre Dumas

What is perhaps my only fave classic! So yeah, teach it up!

3. THE COMPLETE GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES

by The Brothers Grimm

The original, dark fairy tales definitely should be taught! So many themes and topics to examine there!

4. THE HISTORIAN

by Elizabeth Kostava

Quite the interesting read! One that would be good for classes, as there is a lot of historical content!

5. NOCTURNE

by Syrie James

Okay, we're pushing things here! But I just thought this was a beautifully told vampire story and I think we could dig up some themes or whatever English classes need for teaching purposes!

6. THE COMPLETE HARRY POTTER SERIES

by J.K. Rowling

Does Harry Potter need explaining? It's such an iconic series now I think teaching it should definitely happen!

7. BENIGHTED

by Kit Whitfield

I read this one so long ago, but I thought it was definitely an interesting storyline! A very early dystopic almost as only 1% of the world population is human!

8. THE FORBIDDEN GAME TRILOGY

by L.J. Smith

I think a LOT of L.J.'s early books would be an awesome class! The beginning of Paranormal YA before there even was a Paranormal YA! What a class!

9. THE BIRTH OF VENUS

By Sarah Dunant

Another book I read back in the days when Paranormal reads were scarce! This one was quite interesting though. It was before I took my own Europe trip so I enjoyed the setting very much. Probably has some good historical content too being a historical fiction piece.

10. THE FEVER SERIES

by Karen Marie Moning

Because it's kickass, of course!
