My fourteen year old daughter is an avid reader. Sometimes we can't get her to put a book down. She devours books like most kids go through video games. So clearly, this concern that I have about her reading is tempered. As I have another child who equates reading with the plague, I do know how blessed I am that she reads anything. But I am in the process of trying to grow her reading list. I have tried to encourage her to beef up her book choice. As she has made college a clear goal in her life, I believe that she has to begin to include some classics and award winning books into her repetoire in order to: 1. be seriously considered by a college 2. aquire the basis for knowledge to converse with other educated people. Below I have cited some booklists that you may find helpful, if you have the same perdicament, but I would also love to hear what books you consider necessary to a proper education.
