In the UK everybody reads a specific set of classic works. I think there are two reasons. The good reason is that it gives everybody a common vocabulary. They will all have read A Christmas Carol, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and An Inspector Calls. (And maybe some others too). The not so good reason, I think, is that these books are in the public domain.
