Lin asked this question about Between the World and Me:
I'm looking for great non-fiction for 16-18 year old readers in advanced classes--especially titles that have their literary fingers on the public pulse, so to speak. Should I consider this text for my students?

I just taught this book to 18-19 year olds who found it provocative and challenging but also were definitely able to make their way through it.
