15.1 – Math
15.2 – Science
15.3 – Literature (your country)
15.4 – World Literature

15.8 – Art, Music, Dance
15.9 – Gym, Health
15.10 – Study Hall
Books for tasks 15.1-15.9 can be fiction or non-fiction, as long as there is an obvious connection between the subject of the book & the task. For example, Music: read a biography of a musician (Mozart by Peter Gay), a non-fiction book about music (The Rest Is Noise by Alex Ross), or a book with a musician as a main character (A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan).
For tasks 15.3-15.4 books should be "literature" as opposed to "popular fiction", in other words, something that might commonly taught in high school or university.
For task 15.7 - Foreign Languages you could read a translated work (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), a book about foreign languages (Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages), or a biography about a foreign writer (Anaïs Nin: A Biography).
For task 15.10 - Study Hall, read a non-fiction book about a subject you would like to learn more about.
All ten "BtS" tasks must be completed before repeating a task. The tasks can be completed in any order.
You cannot claim regular style points for any book you read for Back-to-School (nor do the BtS categories count as Combo style points for regular Reading with Style tasks).
