Book List, Part 3...High School

Back in the "olden days", when I was a high-schooler, books weren't really read for pleasure. Textbooks, research & required reading books left me feeling dizzy at the end of the day, and I still had to muster the strength for an active social life. (Such as it was...)

Oh, the hardships of being a high school teenager.

Now that I have teenagers, it is very important to me to make sure that they have plenty of time for pleasure reading, and if pleasure can bring knowledge, well, then my job is done.

Some of it anyway.

Here's my list of books for the high school student. Next week I'll post my list of favorites for the over-worked, under-appreciated, stressed out mom.

Yes, I have issues...
