I'm guessing your list is for English or the Literature part of the curriculum and this one isn't.

Your list sounds like my HS list as I remember it. I forgot about The Catcher in the Rye. Their 2009 list just seems overwhelming to me. It shouldn't. The graduates must be brilliant.
they have a 1400 book list but the ones I listed are part of the tstandard curriculum. yes, we are, thanks. seriously though it is a specialized high school that is science and math oriented with students chosen by entrance exam from the entire city. usually in the top 10 or 20 in the country but always in the top 100.
