What was the most profound book you ever studied throughout your schooling? Why?

I don't remember much of the books I've studied in college.

I can't actually remember any book sticking out in my mind from school, and in college i'm studying business so it's not quite the same! lol!....i know i've read books that have made me cry but my memory isn't great..:(

I read that book in high school in religion class. It was very moving. The one that made the biggest impact on me was Song Of Solomon by Toni Morrison. I thought it was very good. It has been so long since I read it. I also really liked Native Son by Richard Wright. I read both in college in my American Lit class. Native Son is like 800 pages long and I read it over Easter break before we even started the book. It was so good I couldn't put it down.

I don't remember tha name of it but it was about ww2 and it was gross and in to details.

This wasn't a book I studied, it was one I read on my own. Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust. It was a history and analysis of people who didn't follow the Nazis or just stand by and do nothing, but risked their lives to save Jewish people. It's part biography and part psychology, because the author tries to analyze what made these people do what so many others didn't do. It's very moving.
