These were actually the hardest two days so far, simply because I’d never thought of either of these as subjects for recommendation…

Day 15 – Book that should be on high school/college required reading list
This is actually a tricky one, because I can’t remember off the top of my head what I read back in high school that was actually high school appropriate. I guess I’d have to say that PostSecret by Frank Warren would be my choice. Because of the highly personal nature of the secrets within, as well as the wide range, this would be a good book to let high schoolers and college students alike know that they are not completely alone.

Day 16 – A book you would recommend to an ignorant/close-minded/racist person
Another really tricky one, but I’d probably go with either To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, or The Help by Kathryn Stockett, since these are the two clearest books I can remember reading specifically to do with race. While each deals with the subject matter in a very different way to the other, I think the solemn tone of To Kill a Mockingbird played against the light-hearted one of The Help might allow for some close-minded people to be able to broaden their sense of humanity and maybe allow their mindset to be shifted in a different direction.
