What are the required readings for high schools in your area?

The other day I was at Barnes and Noble and noticed that the summer reading list for the high schools in my city (Baton Rouge, LA) consisted mostly of books like Twilight. There was no classic literature, just mostly the teen fantasy books, which are almost all about vampires anyway.

Of course, I am sure that there is more to the list than just the ones I saw, but I’m just wondering that if in their process to get teens more enthusiastic about reading, the school board might actually be doing them more harm by depriving them from great authors like Steinbeck and replacing them with Stephanie Meyer(I’m not trying to bash any author, so please, Twilight fans, don’t get offended).

What are the required summer readings(if any) in your area and what are your thoughts on the aforementioned?
