52 Books in 52 Weeks

So I have a giant backlog of books that I want to read.  Most are pretty old now that I've delayed the process so long.  I know many of the books on the list are high school readers, but I either only read a bit to analyze a passage, or they were not on my reading list.  Not all these book will be "fun reads" but I'm hoping to knock a few out for my own betterment.
