Re: A Modern Reading List for High School?

Rick, - I agree completely with Going after Cacciato. It, along with Dispatches, are my favorites. If you haven't read it, you should also try Paco's Story. It also seems O'Brien's novel is out of print; that's a shame.

I've read all three along with Philup Caputo's "A Rumor of War", which would be among my favorites. Now that it's "three wars ago" (roughly counting) I guess Vietnam War books don't sell quite so well.

Classical still offers a "classical degree," but few students choose the option. (I think only three students received one last year.) Nevertheless, it still attracts and produces good students.
