The cool thing about literature is there is such variety out there. The hard thing is helping kids find literature they'll initially hook into. Once they hook in, they'll continue to read, but so many high schoolers will openly admit to never having read an entire book beyond about 7th grade. My goal is to get them hooked back into reading. What many find is that they really like nonfiction once I suggest a few books to them. Nonfiction often gets largely ignored in English classes unfortunately, but teaching AP Language is almost entirely nonfiction, so they get a chance to finally get that exposure.
