Books Jim Read in High School During the 1960s

The list runs roughly from 1963 to 1969, and no, I did not get left back. We had no middle school at the time, so grades 7-12 were all in the high school. At any rate, the wide disparity in the list is I have included both books I was assigned to read for class and books I read on my own. We were a bookish home, I was an only child, and I went throgh a period in school when I was sick a lot. I'm sure I read more, but these are the ones I remember.Wherever possible, I have tried to use the covers to the editions I actually read.
