Some of the English stories/books I remember from School days are: The secret life of Walter Mitty - James Thurber The Hitchhiker - Roald Dahl The postmaster - Rabindranath Tagore Merchant of Venice & Julius Caesar Pygmalion by GB Shaw (I remember it because I hated it) In Hindi: Prayashchit (the story about Kabri Billi) A poem "Matrabhumi" There was this short life story of Ishwarchand Vidyasagar in class 6th or 7th - it was quite good. Kabuliwala Idgah Mamta by Jaishankar Prasad was a brilliant story.
