I had the book "Eloquent Javascript" in my reading list for years and finally read through the 500 pages of it and understand why it's called "Eloquent" and not "Elegant". Object oriented design in javascript continues to feel like torture!

@KieranSnyder Depending on the high schooler, Ha Joon Chang's Economics: The user's guide can be both inspiring and illuminating. (My mom got her phd in economics when I was in high school so have a cocktail of biases)
