reading lists part 2

So here are some interesting lists I found. Click on the image to go to the site.

I strongly recommend this well-designed site from The British Council. It has recommended lists for different age levels with specific categories, and the blurbs are interesting and useful. I went in for a quick skim and came out with five new titles I want to read.

This seemed to be a pretty standard list of young reader classics from the American perspective. The same site has other reading lists.

This is a lively list of new stuff to read from New York Public Libraries. NYPL also has the ALA Top Ten Young Adult Books list, with short reviews.

Users can register and vote on books, and those books are assembled into various lists. It's a bit of a mess, but has lots of reviews of lots of books. I linked the teen section but there are many other lists as well.

A review site for 10-15 year olds written by 190-15 year olds. The newest reviews are of books from 2005, so it's not too up to date, but the categories seem useful, and it is well designed and easy to read.

For something more serious, check out a list of 101 Great Books recommended for college applicants.

The Big Read is a American National Endowment for the Arts literacy program, and they have assembled a nicew list of classics of American literature. Of course, it has the same name as the BBC Big Read, a 2003 competiton throught the UK to choose the nation's most popular books. They have ranked them up to 100.

Any other lists to recommend?
