Should Angela's Ashes be available for more people to read in Perspectives?

Angela's Ashes is a pretty good so far. It's definitely a sad book, it seems like it's tragedy after tragedy. He has 3 siblings that have died, and his father keeps drinking their money for food. So if you don't like sad books, this book is not for you. It is also a pretty difficult read, so if youre not one for reading alot, then it isnt for you either, but that's really the only "obstacle" that i can see getting in the way. In order to understand the book, it would help if you knew a little bit about the past of Ireland and America. Although it's really not a big deal if you don't, i just think that it would come in handy a little bit. There are times when some of the older characters talk about history of Ireland or America, and i am totally lost. I also think that that would be fun to learn about, and i think that other students might as well. There really isn't any "mature content" in the book, so that shouldn't be an issue.So far it is a pretty good book, and i like it much more than i liked This Boys Life. It would be a good book to read in perspectives, or any other high school language arts class.
