Re: A Modern Reading List for High School?
Catcher in the rye is the only book that many people I know in college actually read and liked in high school including me.
I also like your suggestion of freakanomics. Hamlet, well, IDK, ive read it 4 times in a classroom setting, so I guess im biased.
I also liked Of Mice and Men, I think most people I read it with did too.
I was a little upset I never got to read 1984 or F 451 in school.
Overall I think your list is solid.
