Great Books for High School Readers*
The list(s) below are not meant to be lists of "books you must read before you go to college", nor are they required reading for my class.  Simply, these are books that high school students have enjoyed -- some of them are funny, some deep.  The lists contain groupings of books on a common subject or topic.  I will try to add  new lists when I can. 

Read them if they sound interesting to you; read them if you dare.  Some of the books contain mature content.  Your parents should be aware of and approve of what you are reading.
