Books for the Journey: A Guide to the World of Reading
An annotated list of 1500 recommended books for teens on their journey to adulthood. In compiling the list, the three editors sought input from students and teachers at Waldorf schools about their favorite titles. The selected books are organized into five sections: "Drama, Mythology, Poetry, and Sacred Writing"; "Fiction"; "Biography and History"; "Nonfiction"; and a list of titles recommended by seniors as they graduated from high school. Author, editors or translators if applicable, country and year of publication, genre, and recommended grade levels are provided. However, the grade levels seem limited and arbitrary. The annotations are brief, generally a sentence or two. Most of the titles are adult; a few are children's classics or favorites. They form a potpourri of nationalities, styles, and genres that mirrors many lists of books for the college bound.–Karen Hoth, Marathon Middle/High School, FLCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
