Re: A Modern Reading List for High School?
DB,
Sorry, should have mentioned ages. I sort of forget sometimes that you folks across the pond aren't super intelligent like I sometimes give you credit for (I just assumed you knew the ages for some reason, shrug).
As for your list, I have only read MacBeth, so that is a reason that your books aren't included. Lord of the Flies has been on my "need to read" list the longest, as I never was assigned it in school.
In all honesty, I haven't heard of half of those. I have never heard of the Bradbury or the King stories. I will definitely have to look into these and hopefully some other people who have read them can chime in on their potential validity in the class.
PS. Isn't the Hobbit like a zillion pages long? I swear I remember trying to read that in 5th grade and giving up. Maybe it was just because it was 5th grade and it was too dense for me.
