Well, but guys don't read it, do they? I always had the impression that they were reading Tom Swift or something, and my, didn't that statement just date me.

Women and girls are expected to know the books of the male canon, so I don't get why boys aren't expected to know, for instance, Little Women.

I do get what you're saying, but it's something I've found frustrating since I was a teen myself.

My dad actually read Little Women out loud to me when I was a kid, and he cried when SPOILER SPOILER Beth died. That said, I had read Shakespeare, Twain, and Little Women from this list by the time I was 20. I was raised more on fantasy and science fiction classics than traditional American classics, and my tastes have stayed that way. :)
