Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess Brave New World by Aldous Huxley The Stranger by Albert Camus The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell Animal Farm by George Orwell The Chosen by Chaim Potok Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Not all of them are necessarily Highschool required reading, but they are mostly books I read around that time, and most are considered classics.

“high school books”

okay so i don’t think a lot of the books i had to read in school are that worth reading so if i had to recommend a high school reading list here’s what i’d include (based on my thoughts and also my book-ish jobs. some of these came out after i was in school but this is a theoretical list anyways): classics: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury; Frankenstein by Mary Shelley realistic fiction: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson; The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros; Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews fantasy and dystopia: The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein; The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins; The Giver by Lois Lowry historical nonfiction and autobiographies: An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States for Young People by Debbie Reese and Jean Mendoza / Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz; The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank; The Souls of Black Folk by WEB Du Bois; Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi graphic novels: Mis(h)rada by Iasmin Omar Ata; The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen; Maus I & II by Art Spiegelman (def read interviews with Spiegelman as well) plays: A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansbury; The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman poetry and prose: Ballast by Quenton Baker; Blue Horses by Mary Oliver; The Prophet by Khalil Gibran

Books mostly what i remember from Highschool and a few are from college, and a few i read in both.

I think a few of these were mentioned already but it doesn't hurt to have duplicats: Slaughter House five (was my personal favorite) 1984 Lord of the flies Hamlet Call of the wild (i read this one in college) Into the wild Dracula Frankenstein Romeo and Juliet The hate you give

Presenting your research at a conference

Especially a smaller conference with your professional and academic peers where everyone else is as passionate about your niche nerdy topic as you are. People will be super cool and supportive and excited to hear what you’ve been up to. And in the best of cases you’ll get to hear good feedback from well established and respected scientists!
