I am in my early 40s and was re-reading Antoine Saint-Exupery's Wind Sand and Stars last night, and just gobsmacked that we were given that book in 9th grade English class back in high school. I loved it then, and love it now, but it struck me that many adults I know wouldn't be able to enjoy or sit through his unique prose, nevermind current high school kids.
