Hi Popadicova, I am not a teacher, but my kids are in secondary school. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and various Shakespeare works; are a couple of teacher's selections. The Hunger Games series, All Quiet on the Western Front, Watership Down, and I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings are recent summer choices they made.
There are some good lists on line, here is a shorter one: URL is phschool.com/curriculum_support/reading_list/high_school.html

Hi everyone! I'm a jazz pianist and writer living in NYC. As a writer my main interest is philosophy of art and I am particularly influenced by Jacques Maritain and Etienne Gilson (two 20th-century French philosophers) in that regard. As a reader I pretty much check out everything - to give you some idea, the books I'm in the middle of right now are The Return of Sherlock Holmes by ACD, Man, Economy and State by Murray Rothbard, Collected Poems 1943-2004 by Richard Wilbur, The Complete Saki, Stromata by Clement of Alexandria (3rd century philosopher/theologian), and Life of Christ by Fulton J. Sheen.
For discovering new reading material I am a HUGE fan of the magazine Lapham's Quarterly and recommend that everyone check it out. I also currently subscribe to a journal called Image.
I love movies too (favorites are The Godfather, The Big Lebowski, Biutiful), and obviously music (jazz and lots of other stuff).
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I listen to a lot of podcasts - currently The History of Philosophy (Without Any Gaps), History of Byzantium, British History Podcast, Ancient Egyptian Podcast, 99% Invisible, and occasionally various comedy podcasts.
Hi everybody. I´m a Spanish writer and have published some novels and short stories in Spain. I also have published a couple of short stories in English although I´m not all that fluent. In any case, hello everybody it´s a pleasure to be here... Nearly forgot, I also translate from English to Spanish.

Hi, I'm Tambourine, nice to meet y'all, etc.
It is actually nice to see a segment of the world being brought together under this forum, having the commonality of the love for books. I would not want to give a very convoluted introduction for myself as I think it would become monotonous for the forum members. All about myself could be condensed into a few statements;
I am a literature student, an avid reader, I love Victorian novels, Oriental fiction and the modern writers too. I have somewhat developed feminist leanings after reading Woolf and Sylvia Plath. I am a published writer on socio-political affairs in the world around and love discussing contemporary politics coupled with relating it to the past history of events. I am also an active Parliamentary style speaker and have a passion for debating. I love intellectual conversations, thoroughly enjoy them.
I am officially Sophiya Qadeer but am called 'Soph' by the larger segment of my social cirque.
Looking forward to enjoying this forum and a Hi to each one of you from my end. :)
Hi Tambourine :)
Hello Everyone! My name is Ashly and I am currently reading a great deal of books and thought it would be nice to have somewhere to talk about them. I lived in Germany for 6/1/2 years and am currently back in the states. I have a translation degree from Germany, but have yet to find an opportunity to use my German here in America :)
I have recently started branching out on books that I am reading, as I am needing to re-learn English to an extent (my brain still thinks and writes German). I am currently reading a book called "Coming into the Country" by John McPhee.
I love being out in nature and am very outgoing usually...though meeting people seems to be becoming more difficult these days.
Anyway I am glad to have the opportunity to join in this forum :)
These posts are over 10 years old, I'm hoping everyone is still around! My name is Chris, and I'm an aspiring author and entrepreneur! I just finished my first book, and would love feedback from this amazing community! Ciao!
