![]() ![]() ![]() I was a meager 12 years old while reading this highly descriptive book. This book was one of the books assigned to me for my first ever summer reading. Told through the memories of survivors, this timeless, powerful, and compassionate document has become a classic “that stirs the conscience of humanity” (The New York Times). This book, John Hersey’s journalistic masterpiece, tells what happened on that day. On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atom bomb ever dropped on a city. Book 1: Hiroshima by John Hersey Synopsis from Goodreads: Many of these books would be books that most people haven’t read while in high school. I decided to narrow down the list some, as I read around 40 books in my high school career, and will be sharing some of the more unusual books I read in high school. I was also fortunate enough (?) to be in AP English throughout my high school career and AP US History and Government in 11th and 12th grade. That isn’t the norm in most places, including my former high school, as we were the last 8th graders in the high school. For me, high school started in 8th grade (when I turned 13 years old). ![]()
