Books Worth Reading
Books Worth Reading, Teaching, and Revisiting
A little corner of ELA Inkwell for the books that stay with you.
Books have always been at the center of my English classroom. Some are worth teaching because they open up difficult conversations. Some are worth returning to because they reveal something new every time you read them. And some simply deserve a place on a teacher's bookshelf.
This page is a starting point for the books I recommend, the titles I use or return to in the classroom, and the reading lists I think are worth sharing with other English teachers.
The full collection lives at The Literary Life, my Bookshop.org storefront, where you can browse the books and lists I've put together. Bookshop.org's mission is to support local, independent bookstores, so it is one way to make online book buying work a little more in favor of independent booksellers.
