This a great list, I will definitely be reading all the ones on here that I have not read. You didn't mention what type of high school you are going to be teaching at. If you are at a school that has a sizable portion of students that are not college bound I would suggest The Contender by Robert Lipsyte. I had a sizable number of friends that were not college bound and they truly enjoyed this book. It is short , well written, and has a very important life lesson if you don't know what to do with your life.
