LifesComplexity's "Books for the Intelligent Teen Girl"

Add to my lists | Print this list

An alternative to the "books for teen girls" lists that promote literature without substance. All books included aren’t essential to intelectual development, but perfect for light reading and interpretation. Also included are nonfiction books that I think are essential for becoming a complete human being.

The Giver was boring only because i was forced to read it in 4th grade. Memoirs Of A Geisha is my all time favorite book.
