FOREWORD TO THE STUDENT
04hr4PO
Book lists are promises. They promise to take the guess-work out of hunting for a good book. They promise to givethe opinion of other readers about a book. They promise tosteer you to the book you want for the purpose you havein reading. They promise to cut the waste time when youget hold of the wrong book. Book lists are promises ofgreater excitement and enjoyment in what you read.Book lists are personal. They represent the judgment oftheir compilers about books. They represent the taste oftheir compilers. The user has to learn what to expect froma list and to use it as it fits him. He may discover that therecommendations about the maturity level of a book aretoo high or too low for him. He may find a bias in the listtoward romanticism, or toward realism, or toward existen-tialism. He may find the list more helpful for nonfictionthan for fiction. It may be a list good for finding plays butnot very good for finding poetry.Book lists are organized. So are libraries. Libraries areorganized in large, broad categories. A book list is organizedon a more personal and individual scale. Book lists bringtogether materials in new patterns. They try to guess thepatterns in which people are apt to read. They make it pos-sible to find everything on a subject such as religion or thegeneration gap whether it is fiction, poetry, drama, or non-fiction. They cut across the divisions set up by libraries.Book lists are not reading. Anyone who uses book listsa great deal becomes familiar with a great number of titlesof books that he has not actually read. If you thumb throughthis list over and over, titles become old friends. They be-come a part of your knowledge of the world of books. It iseasy tv slide into thinking that you have read the booksyou have only read about. But the reality of a book is alwaysdifferent from someone's description of it.1;ook lists are static. They are frozen at a given point inpublishing history. The world of books is dynamic. It is
ix xFOREWORD TO THE STUDENT
constantly moving forward and changing. Tens of thousandsof new books are published year by year. Beforea booklist is in print, it is somewhat out of date. Don't confineyour reading to any lict. Make discoveries and explorationson your own.
Book lists are provocative. The reader always carriesona silent debate with the compilers of the list. "Why didthey ever put that title on the list? Why didn't they includethis book?" This very process forces the readerto crystallizehis own understandings of what he has formerlyread.Often the appearance of a title in a strangecategory on abook list gives the reader a new insight into the bookthathe has formerly missed.Book lists are made to serve the reader. Maythis oneserve you. Let it become your slave. Don't becomea slaveto it.

EDITOR'S NOTE
The tasks of the Committee on the Senior High SchoolBook List were the same as those for past committees: todetermine which of the thousands of new books to add andwhich of the titles in previous list's to retain; to annotateand categorize the entries; to identify certain titles as beingfor the more mature reader (indicated by an asterisk); andto classify certain titles as being of marked literary quality(indicated by a dagger).Students, teachers, and librarians who are familiar withprevious editions of Books for You will note the many waysin which this edition parallels the 1964 edition. The Commit-tee considered suggestions for changes from many sourcesin preparing thisedition. The major additions are thesections on poetry and language, included because of markedstudent and teacher interest in these two categories ofreading in today's world, and the Afterword, included inresponse to requests from teachers. Suggestions for changesin the titles of sections in the book were carefully con-sidered and rejected for the most part in order to retainthe values of the direct, uncomplicated titles of the lastedition.The omission of a title from the list should not beinterpreted as the rejection of a book's value; nor shouldinclusion of a title be interpreted to mean recommendationof the book for all students. As Dr. Carlsen has said inthe Foreword, took lists are made to serve the reader,"and, as with all tools in the school, are to be used to servethe needs of particular students, teachers, librarians, or..parents in a particular way at a particular time.Credit and my deep, sincere appreciation go to:
All students, teachers, and librarians who made sug-gestions and replied to questions about their use of the booklist.
