They were just all written in the 50s. A lot of the books we read were challenged and banned when written, and only with in the last 10-30 years have they been accepted for teaching.
Books I've read for Frosh/Soph english ranked from best to worst:
Slaughterhouse-Five
Native Son
Of Mice and Men
A Raisin in the Sun
All Quiet on the Western Front
Huck Finn
The Glass Menagerie
The Scarlet Letter
The Great Gatsby
