Being that I plan to teach middl;e school after graduation, I am always looking at different books and considering which books would be interesting to teach and different ways that they could be taught. I am always open to other people's opinions about which books are the best and which are their favorites. I found a list broke down by catergory that has alot of very good books on it. I think I will bookmark it and use some of them in my teaching career.
