I'm not certain which King I'd put on there, but The Dome comes to mind, or The Shining.<br /><br />And though GWTW is a personal favourite, I'd definitely shove I Capture the Castle into anyone's hands, much less a teenager.

Why did you choose <i>Bag of Bones</i>? <br /><br />And I had to laugh at the reason for including <i>Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging</i>, which I read a bit of several years ago and haven't touched since. I think some "reverse role models" are useful once in a while--as long as it's very clear what they are--and a teacher who made another list suggested including a really "bad" book now and then, so that students flex their critical muscles tearing it to shreds. =PEnbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688556622447319906.post-6322916107418741142011-07-19T22:10:29.367-07:002011-07-19T22:10:29.367-07:00I actually think Stephen King is closer to two baz...I actually think Stephen King is closer to two bazillion novels now... :)<br /><br />Great list, I love that you didn't stick to what has been deemed YA friendly but what will set them up better for the futureAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688556622447319906.post-31195474663618037712011-07-19T20:33:39.194-07:002011-07-19T20:33:39.194-07:00I put Persepolis on my list and I may have kind of...I put Persepolis on my list and I may have kind of copied you.

Great stuff. <br /><br />I loved <i>Persepolis</i>! I've actually only seen the film, but it's done in the style of the graphic novel, which was cool. It definitely shows a very different childhood than the ones we're used to seeing and experiencing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688556622447319906.post-2943478051457466942011-07-19T13:05:02.042-07:002011-07-19T13:05:02.042-07:00I included TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD too, but not any ...I included TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD too, but not any Austen. I'm just not convinced that Austen (or for that matter, Dickens)is for kids. But of course that's my own personal opinion. This was a hard list to narrow down. Really I'd love to see kids reading anything, just so long as they're reading.Yvettehttp://yvettecandraw.blogspot.com/2011/07/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-books-that.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688556622447319906.post-32772114399097469772011-07-19T12:13:52.827-07:002011-07-19T12:13:52.827-07:00Nice list.
