1. Deadline - Chris Crutcher
I should say a lot about this book. But not now. I tried but everything's fragmented, and not only do the ideas not tie together, they're not complete. And though I'm writing these for myself, I still can't stand fragmentation.
(Plus, the last few responses have been hella long. Brevity'll break it up a bit.)
All I will say is this: if it were required that all high school freshman read one book, this would be it. I realize that's a pretty fascist idea for someone who registered as a socialist in college, but I truly believe it. Now's the time when I justify why, but we'll have to come back to that later.
For now, just get the book.
