Good Reading Guide Books on a Theme: Schools to Sporting Tales (Via Small-Town, USA)

This is the penultimate instalment of this series. See how well-read you are in certain areas or explore more books on your favourite themes. Sourced from "Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide" (Nick Rennison, 8th edn, 2009).
01-10: Schools
11-21: Scotland
22-32: Sequels
33-43: Sex
44-51: Ships and the Sea
52-58: Shipwreck
59-73: Short Stories
74-79: The Sixties
80-89: Slaves and the Slave Trade
90-99: Small-Town Life, USA
100-111: South Africa
112-122: Spies and Double Agents
123-130: Sporting Tales
BTW, I realise there is some duplication of books over the challenges in this series. This is because of overlap in the themes.
