Let's Get Serious: Goodread's Required Reading in High School - Page 5

The books on this list make a nice contrast to those on my recent challenge, available at the link. Obviously there are few if any books specifically for young children on this list, but there are also many more scholarly works and classics. There is extensive coverage of historical and political developments in the USA.
Please note that some items are a dramatized version or analysis of a famous work.
