I know from experience that a lot of teens will stay away from certain types of books because of the subject matter, the genre, or just because they don't like to read. Or even because they've just never come across those books before. By bringing them out in the limelight, the books are getting recognition they might not have gotten before. I'm not saying I'm doing that, but it's worth it to me to put those books on my list for those reasons.Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-5561598280629668022011-07-19T20:06:36.606-04:002011-07-19T20:06:36.606-04:00Great post - I've only read a few of those boo...Great post - I've only read a few of those books, but they all sound like great high school reads.

I've filled my own list with classics and other old books: I think the youngest one is still over fifty years old! <br /><br />Thanks again for coming up with this topic and hosting the meme. =)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-71611898224297247292011-07-19T13:51:14.841-04:002011-07-19T13:51:14.841-04:00This is a great meme, it's my first time doing...This is a great meme, it's my first time doing it and I really enjoyed it, totally agree with To Kill a Mockingbird by the way and loved Paper Towns!Farhanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680014521460878060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-77982718167266417302011-07-19T13:50:20.330-04:002011-07-19T13:50:20.330-04:00This was a challenge!

I will have to think about it before I post an answer, but I agree with you about 13 Reasons Why, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
