I was always the kid who couldn’t wait until the summer reading list came out.  In fact, I still scour the school-suggested tables at Barnes & Noble.  So now when I hear kids say they don’t like to read, I believe they just haven’t found the right book yet.  With that in mind, here are 10 of my favorite books I read in school.

1. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton
2. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
3. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
4. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
5. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
6. Invitation to the Game by Monica Hughes
7. The Crucible by Arthur Miller
8. Night by Elie Wiesel
9. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien
10. Macbeth by William Shakespeare
