Library Blog: High School Reading Lists



This Christian Science Monitor article is all about the new titles being included on high school reading lists.  Classics like Shakespeare and Hawthorne are being joined by Sandra Cisneros, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Yann Martel.  The article ends with a list of books from high school reading lists across the country.  I love the juxtaposition of the old and new, exactly what teens should be filling their minds with.

Comments

When I first came across this article I noticed that enough of the newish titles that I was familiar with were pretty good picks, that I made a TBR list out of the ones I'd never heard of.
