#JohnWyndham was a British SciFi author probably best known for #DayOfTheTriffids (empirically difficult to film) but I think #TheChrysalids is rather good.
Post-apocalyptic and a #bildunsroman

Hey #Eduverse. I am wondering what #books are being assigned for reading in #Ontario for #HighSchool students these days. Or elsewhere in #Canada or abroad.

In the late #1990 's, besides a new #Shakespear each year, i remember some books like #TheChrysalids, #Fahrenheit451, #AngelSquare, #DuddyKravitz.

Wondering what today's #youth are reading in school or on their own.

Any insights?
