As a 2011 high-school graduate, I am constantly on the lookout for thought-provoking, enlightening reading material. The arrival of WORLD's annual Books Issue, always a highlight of the summer, swelled my "to read" list to unnerving lengths. I couldn't be happier.

There's only one downside to your Books Issue: I'm on the other side of 75 and the urgency to read all these wondrous books at my age borders on greed. But I love every review, and have made some choice selections to read this year.
