Re: A Modern Reading List for High School?
In tenth grade, I read (or was supposed to have read)Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Flies, Macbeth, Henry IV (parts one and two!), Addison and Steele, the Roger DeCoverly Papers, selected essays by English writers such as Charles Lamb, and more I forget. We also did weekly vocabulary lists: termagent, xanthippic, martinet, and so on.
BTW, this was a public high school.
