I had to read Crime and Punishment in high school, along with Animal Farm and 1984—all taught by nuns. That was 1963-67, but I think that motivated teachers or homeschooling parents could excite kids (not terrorize them) about reading them. They are as much textbooks today as they were fiction then.
