Reading List for the College Bound
article excerpt from http://www.sms.org/books_co.htm
This reading list for college-bound students is a combination of many lists compiled by colleges and universities for high school reading. College professors expect incoming students to be familiar with these works; in many cases they will be reread and studied in more depth in college. Students not planning to attend university should not shy away from this list, however, if reading abilities, comprehension skills, and maturity levels are adequate.
