And here's something to make you smile... |
What books shaped you in high school? This summer, NPR asked you to tell us about the books you read in high school that profoundly affected you. It turns out you had a lot to share. More than 1,100 of you wrote back to tell us about the formative texts you were assigned as teens. Here are the most common books, and what you had to say.
As always, thank you for reading and listening!
