Maybe I'll do that to this one sometime. Matthew - I tried to read Inferno in high school and didn't get far, but I read the whole Divine Comedy several times in college. I really enjoy it. Rose City Reader - Another J.D.! There seem to be a lot of lawyer book-bloggers. I love your name too. I lived in Portland for all of elementary school and would love to live there again someday. Kelly - It's hard to pick my top 10, but if you get bored easily, I would suggest starting with Pride & Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Crucible, or Animal Farm. Good luck!

I can't take credit for "starting" this though -- the College Board did. It's just one of many "Must Read" lists I keep track of on my blog. By the way, I have never commented about your blog name, which I love. I have always wanted to be a "blue stocking" myself -- ever since my jr. high days devouring historical romances. :) Now, like you, I am a JD who wishes she could spend all her time reading books instead of billing hours.

Some of these books might be too difficult for college-bound students. Inferno for high school students is quite ambitious. I certainly didn't read it until college. I couldn't stand Faulkner but will read him again. LOL About 36. Some of these books might be too difficult for college-bound students. Inferno for high school students is quite ambitious.
