FOREWORD TO THE STUDENT
04hr4PO

Book lists are promises. They promise to take the guess-


work out of hunting for a good book. They promise to give
the opinion of other readers about a book. They promise to
steer you to the book you want for the purpose you have
in reading. They promise to cut the waste time when you
get hold of the wrong book. Book lists are promises of
greater excitement and enjoyment in what you read.
Book lists are personal. They represent the judgment of
their compilers about books. They represent the taste of
their compilers. The user has to learn what to expect from
a list and to use it as it fits him. He may discover that the
recommendations about the maturity level of a book are
too high or too low for him. He may find a bias in the list
toward romanticism, or toward realism, or toward existen-
tialism. He may find the list more helpful for nonfiction
than for fiction. It may be a list good for finding plays but
not very good for finding poetry.
Book lists are organized. So are libraries. Libraries are
organized in large, broad categories. A book list is organized
on a more personal and individual scale. Book lists bring
together materials in new patterns. They try to guess the
patterns in which people are apt to read. They make it pos-
sible to find everything on a subject such as religion or the
generation gap whether it is fiction, poetry, drama, or non-
fiction. They cut across the divisions set up by libraries.
Book lists are not reading. Anyone who uses book lists
a great deal becomes familiar with a great number of titles
of books that he has not actually read. If you thumb through
this list over and over, titles become old friends. They be-
come a part of your knowledge of the world of books. It is
easy tv slide into thinking that you have read the books
you have only read about. But the reality of a book is always
different from someone's description of it.
1;ook lists are static. They are frozen at a given point in
publishing history. The world of books is dynamic. It is
ix
x FOREWORD TO THE STUDENT
constantly moving forward and changing. Tens of thousands
of new books are published year by year. Before a book
list is in print, it is somewhat out of date. Don't confine
your reading to any lict. Make discoveries and explorations
on your own.
Book lists are provocative. The reader always carries on
a silent debate with the compilers of the list. "Why did
they ever put that title on the list? Why didn't they include
this book?" This very process forces the reader to crystallize
his own understandings of what he has formerly read.
Often the appearance of a title in a strange category on a
book list gives the reader a new insight into the book that
he has formerly missed.
Book lists are made to serve the reader. May this one
serve you. Let it become your slave. Don't become a slave
to it.

EDITOR'S NOTE

The tasks of the Committee on the Senior High School


Book List were the same as those for past committees: to
determine which of the thousands of new books to add and
which of the titles in previous list's to retain; to annotate
and categorize the entries; to identify certain titles as being
for the more mature reader (indicated by an asterisk); and
to classify certain titles as being of marked literary quality
(indicated by a dagger).
Students, teachers, and librarians who are familiar with
previous editions of Books for You will note the many ways
in which this edition parallels the 1964 edition. The Commit-
tee considered suggestions for changes from many sources
in preparing this edition. The major additions are the
sections on poetry and language, included because of marked
student and teacher interest in these two categories of
reading in today's world, and the Afterword, included in
response to requests from teachers. Suggestions for changes
in the titles of sections in the book were carefully con-
sidered and rejected for the most part in order to retain
the values of the direct, uncomplicated titles of the last
edition.
The omission of a title from the list should not be
interpreted as the rejection of a book's value; nor should
inclusion of a title be interpreted to mean recommendation
of the book for all students. As Dr. Carlsen has said in
the Foreword, took lists are made to serve the reader,"
and, as with all tools in the school, are to be used to serve
the needs of particular students, teachers, librarians, or
..parents in a particular way at a particular time.
Credit and my deep, sincere appreciation go to:
All students, teachers, and librarians who made sug-
gestions and replied to questions about their use of the book
list.

AFTERWARD FOR THE TEACHER

Jerome Bruner has said that teachers put students


through the rigors of learning without giving them the time
or the opportunity to make use of what they have learned,
even though the rewards, the reinforcements for learning
come from this use. Many reading-literature curricula seem
to suffer from this fault: the children spend all available
time acquiring skills in reading and in evaluation of litera-
ture but have little time to spend applying these skills in
pleasure reading. Lifetime reading habits can't be imposed
on people by force-feeding skills assignments to large groups
or even, probably, by permitting them to choose books from
an "approved list."
Book selection is as individual as a fingerprint or a
voice pattern. The book which will "turn on" one reader
may leave another uninvolved. Young readers must accustom
themselves to sampling, exploring, and browsing in many
books if they are to diicover by in reading. The -range of
books which might prove to be "good reading" for any one
class is infinite. Adult readers in any community need the
complexity of the offerings of the public library. So do
adolescent readers. No carefully selected list of books can
be labeled with assurance as "books every young adult
should read."
The concept of free guided reading or individualized
reading appears in many classrooms in different practices.
Some teachers build thematic units around a group of
books with similar theme or content and give students the
opportunity to read as many as they are able. Other teachers
offer a limited number of appropriate books and guide
youngsters to those most appropriate for them; the students
then read the books and share their reactions in groups.
Many schools today offer complete freedom of range with
263
264 AFTERWORD FOR THE TEACHER
each child setting his own goals and choosing his own
reading for as long as a semester at a time.
Some basic assumptions which underlie this practice of
wide and individual reading are these:
1. One way to improve reading skills is to read a great
deal.
2. Both pleasure and learning are to be found in books
which are not necessarily "great" literature.
3. Youngsters who find their lives, ,their problems in a
work of fiction will find pleasure too.
4. Some young people have not responded to the whole-
class way of teaching. Individualization may help
them.
5. Easy access to a wide variety of books is a spur to
increased reading.
What are the goals of such a literature-reading program?
"Literature study should result in an enriched life. A suc-
cessful high school program need accept nothing less as its
major outcome" (2). Three dimensions of the literature pro-
gram as described by Burton (2) define the full program: the
developmental dimension in which literature gives personal
delight and insight into the human experience; the human-
istic dimension in which literature brings youth into.contact
with a cultural tradition, the ideas which have concerned
man throughout recorded time; and the formal dimension in
which literature is given depth and irichness through an
understanding of its genres. The first two of these dimen-
sions can be richly explored and achieved by individualized
reading; success in these two dimensions may enable a stu-
dent to participate. in the third dimension Jennings, too,
speaks of personal insight gained:
The central aim of our education is not the training of
an intellectual elite. That is a speCial problem, as it has
always been, for a special kind of education. Neither is
the aim a-widespread literary sophistication, although
that is not undesirable. We seek to lift the problems
that confront them 56 that theiruseful liyes may be
happy. . . . If we are to have access to this [life of
action' we must have teachers who are themselves
readers, who do not possess trivial;minds.
_^
. . . (6)
265 AFTERWORD FOR THE TEACHER
Frank Jennings also pleads that teachers allow students
the privilege of choice and of starting from where they are,
not where they "ought to be."
Although we as adults are concerned to give the boy or
girl the best possible reading experience, we cannot af-
ford to overlook the fact that he has learned to make
reading choices on his own. We ignore these choices
more than we honor them. And tolerance is not enough.
Don't forget the hungers that send him to these books.
Don't be so quick to depreciate the shoddy magazine,
the blatant paperback, even the ghastly comic. You can
easily see what he is after. Find out if he is getting it.
Honor his struggle and help him on to the kind of read-
ing that will feed his hunger with-stronger food. A wise,
courageous and patient adult will begin by accepting
the teenager where he is. What he is reading is of vital
importance to him, however trivial it seems to us. You
cannot begin with the "classics," with "rich" and "en-
nobling masterpieces." If they are that, and 'much of
the so-called literature that we parade before our youth
most certainly is not, then they provide secret goals
toward which you can strive. . . . (6)
Daniel Fader in H9oked on Books tells of the wide diver-
gence in depth and difficulty of the books chosen by the
young readers Lie was counseling:
. . just before they've encompassed the idea that the
library is a source of pleasure rather than of pain.
During that crucial transition period, picttire-books with
familiar characters are ports in a storm of change:
Dennis the Menace and Charlie Brown are welcomed
with smiles of anxious relief. Boy after boy reads quick-
ly through Hank Ketchum's six titles and Charles
Schulz's four before he pushes himself into the deeper
water of words without.pictures. (4)
However, some rears demand books which call for the
kind of life :ixpatience which they've encountered:
Semi-literate retie AV -do not need semi ]iterate books. . . .
"Reading" is a peculiarly personal interaction be-
tween the child and the book, an interaction as dif-
266 AFTERWORD FOR THE TEACHER
ferent in each case as readers may differ from each
other in breadth of experience and quality of mind.
But in no case does this interaction demand an under-
standing of every word by the reader. In fact, the
threshold of understandingof meaningful interac-
tionis surprisingly low and can be pleasurably crossed
in many complex books by many simple readers. (4)
Helping students to find their books takes a many-faceted
English teacher: one who knows something about adole
cents and the milieu in which they live, one who has read
not a few great books thoroughly but one who has read
widely, avidly, continuously and who enjoys many kinds of
literature. Such a tefteher knows and respects different kinds
of books and different kinds of readers. Frank Jennings
discusses these contrasts:
A distinction has to he made between the different
kinds and levels of reading. For mere survival, func-
tional literacy is needed by everyone in ow: society.
High reading efficiency is required of every specialist
in his or her own field. Written ordeef. and instructions
have to be understood clearly if they are to he carried
out. Some people will rarely use reading for anything
beyond the simplest some of information. Some may
never use it for entertainment. Those of us who find
in reading all that has been claimed for it in this bode
may be unhappy that their interests and preferences
are not universally shared. We want the schools to
make more people in our image. We will never be
satisfied with the schools' success. But we can never
afford to believe that the difference between us and all
those who do not share our interests is a difference of
quality. It is required of us that we respect the dif-
ferences. The home whose view of the world is only
through the tiny picture window of television may not
be as rich as ours with its magic casements and grand
vistas, but it is peopled by men and women who feel
and see and understand that same world. Some of their
children can be recruited from their ranks even as we
lose some of ours to them. The exchange can be in our
favor. It must be if the world is to be better than it is.
It cannot be if we protect ourselves from them vv:e2.
ancient outworn intellectual snobberies. (6)
267 AFTERWORD FOR THE TEACHER
When a class is reading freely under guidance, the teach-
er must be prepared for a wide variety of reactions to books.
The teacher who himself loves to read can, of course, better
arrange a love affair between a student and the printed
word than can the teacher w)--,1 seldom, if ever, reads a
book. Moreover, the teacher who reads the books his students
find interesting or those they might possibly find interesting
is much more likely to have a successful and satisfying
experience with a free reading program.
There is no ore way in which to implement a free read-
ing program. A teacher should, however, have a definite
plan and a well-defined program. A cardinal point to keep
in mind is to forget traditional patterns. Appleby and Con-
ner suggest beginning an individualized reading session by
having each student start a reading profile meet with an-
swers to these questions: 1. Where have you been in your
reading? (What have you enjoyed?) 2. Where are you
going? (Do you have a plan or titre in mind? What author
or theme or kind of story would you like?) Students then
sign up for individual conferences of ten to fifteen minutes;
these are held in a corner of tin room while others are read-
ing. Later if two or more students have finished the same
book, group conferences can be held. The teacher who has
either skimmed or read the book involved and can talk with
the students about their reaction and interaction with the
book will find the experience heartening, some times delight-
ful, and sometimes entertaining. Sharing reactions with the
teacher is important to boys and girls and invariably im-
proves student-teacher rapport. Appleby and Conner (1)
suggest that before a conference, the teacher look at the
student's reading profile and have some titles in mind to
suggest. The teacher should be prepared to take the student
up a rung of the reading ladder if he is ready. These
authors also suggest some pitfalls to avoid ,uch as recom-
mending "better" quality books or making derogatory re-
marks about those the student has obviously enjoyed.
Sometimes the reporting on individual books can be
written but seldom, if ever, in the stereotyped and much
hated book report form. Some research has indicated that
students prefer a face-to-face encounter with the teacher
for a few minutes alone and a brief discussion of the book,
often to share enthusiasm. Very good students will be able
to find the place for this book in the world of hooks which
they have previously encountered. Such a report and literary
268 AFTERWORD FOR THE TEACHER
analysis can be meaningfully integrative for many students.
Some books are contagious; after one student has read them,
the majority of the class follows. Then, of course, a class
discussion or a panel led by one of a group which read the
same book can be shared with the entire group. Occasionally
members of a class choose books which follow a theme
(boys reading books about war or a group who read books
about Japan, for example) and again they can prepare a
report to the rest of the class sharing their findings. Writing
a comparison of a novel with the movie made from it will
be meaningful to the reluctant reader as will expressing an
opinion as to whether or not the problems encountered by a
teenage protagonist are solved in a believable manner. High
school boys and girls are seeking insight into their own
problems, and sometimes a literary experience gives them
a chance to view their own lives with more objectivity.
Students can learn, 2erhaps in a conference with the teach-
er, to go on from there to a rewarding understanding of the
universality of motivations and the difficulties encountered
by all humans during certain life crises. These students can
begin to shape an adult world such as that described by
Frye:
Literature does not reflect life, but it doesn't escape or
withdraw from life either; it swallows it. And the
imagination won't stop until it's swallowed everything.
No matter what direction we start off in, the signposts
of literature always keep pointing the same way, to a
world where nothing is outside the human imagina-
tion. (5)
Bruner has said that this kind of involvement is the pur-
pose of literature in the curriculum:
Man must cope with a relatively limited number of
plightsbirth, growth, loneliness, the passions, death
and not very many more. They are plights that are
neither solved nor by-passed by being "adjusted." An
adjusted man must face his passions just as surely as
he faces death. I would urge that a grasp of the basic
plights through the basic myths of art and literature
provides the organizing principle by which knowledge
of the human condition is rendered into a form that
makes thinking possible, by which we go beyond learn-
269 AFTERWORD FOR THE TEACHER
ing to the use of knowledge. I urge simply that there be
exposure to, and interpretation of, literature that deals
deeply with the human condition. (3)
Some teachers may want to counterbalance reading with
writing and to widen the opportunity for personal involve-
ment by use of the journal as described by Dr. Fader (4)
or by what some have called "free writing."
Mr. Jennings advises avoiding the usual questions found
in a "discussion guide" of many textbooks often found
under the heading of "The Writer's Craft." Rather, he sug-
gests, teachers should begin with the recognition that some-
thing happens to anyone who reads anything, and that
is what should be talked about. It is because of what has
happened to a student as he read that he will read further.
Teachers are constantly reminded that students cannot be
equipped with enough data to enable them to cope with
tomorrow's world. But teachers can give young people a
source of intellectual and spiritual strength by creating an
environment of enjoyment from books. Frank Jennings ex-
presses his faith in this arrangement:
There are golden ages yet to be made and times of
trouble to be survived. The book is a shield, a tool and
a power-pack. It is an instrument for intellectual and
emotional navigation. It is man's own sovereign remedy
against the ills and confusions of a changing universe.
The more competent readers a society has, the greater
will be its capacity for. doing good to itself. Wakeful
happiness should be the best condition of man. (6)
