Well, no, not really. Canterbury Tales is the big one, but I also like Troilus and Cressida.

We had a good bit of Chaucer, as I recall. I like Chaucer.

I went to high school in the Dark Ages. We read a lot of Shakespeare (10 plays), Dickens, Austen, The Scarlet Letter, etc. I think Hemingway and Steinbeck were as modern as we got, and YA wasn't even a publisher's concept then, as far as I know. I don't think we read anything that would now be considered YA, either - on the theory that if we wanted to read YA, we could read it on our own time.
