As far as Lord of the Flies goes, it is reasonably well written and carries a very important message. Children should be exposed to that message, although it's clear from many adult's behaviour that it doesn't always sink in during studies.

The vampires in Twilight were just boring.
Also, I've never read Lord of the Flies! They didn't seem to teach it much at our school for some reason. I will probably give it a read eventually :P
I've just thought of another couple I could have stuck at the end of my list, actually: Little Women and Anne of Green Gables. I found both books utterly insipid, but it must just be something I'm missing.
