  • Children's Stories
  • Silent Spring - Rachel Carson
  • O Pioneers! - Willa Cather
  • Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston
  • Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
  • The Republic - Plato
  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain READ IT
  • Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu
  • The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes
  • Black Elk Speaks - by Nicholas Black Elk as told to John Niehardt
  • Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison
  • To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee
  • Journal of the Expedition - Lewis and Clark; Undaunted Courage - Stephen E. Ambrose
  • Lord of the Rings - J.R. Tolkien
