#Markd9528's Worthwhile Reads That Are Also Great for Boosting Scores on Book Challenges - Page 3

A "more bang for the buck" style challenge. How can you use this list? If you select one of these books you will have both a great read AND the ability to check off that work on numerous lists, particularly those that feature early and modern classics. Many appear on lists that have "teach", "taught", "school" or "teacher" in their title, but don't let that scare you off. I've purposely left off massive and forbidding tomes like War and Peace, Les Mis etc.
