LifesComplexity's "Books for the Intelligent Teen Girl"

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.
