High
School Reading Lists—Books Schools Love to Assign
You’ll notice when you get those HS reading lists that many
of the titles were published for adults. Perhaps they’re pushing
you to move ahead, but maybe there is something worthwhile there
too. Of course, when many of these books were published, teens didn’t
have their own division in publishing houses, so perhaps they’ve
been reading them all along…
A few lists you don’t want to miss include:
ALA Outstanding
Books for the College Bound
Where you can link to the annotated Lists for five different academic
disciplines. See the 1999
list, or check your local library for a printed list.
California
Department of Education Reading List for HS Students grades 9-12.

resource including a breakdown of titles that also links to reviews.
There is also a list
of world literature recommended for HS teens.
