Reading: Reading Lists

National Public Radio's Best Beach Books Ever poll.

American & World Literature, Biography, Science, Drama & Poetry

American Library Association's YALSA committee of public, secondary school, and academic librarians selects the list. Revised every five years as a tool for several audiences (students preparing for college, educators, librarians, and parents) it offers opportunities for independent reading and lifelong learning.

UC Berkeley faculty & staff select a topical reading list annually. The list is designed to introduce new Cal students to the intellectual life of the university.

Recommended by Faculty and Staff of the Summer Institute on College Admissions at Harvard University

Produced by the College Board
