For what it's worth, I don't think what a young person reads is nearly as important as how he or she reads. Young people who learn to read with patience and care and long-term concentration, with pencil in hand to make notes (including questions and disagreements), will be better prepared for college than students who read all the "right" books but read them carelessly or passively.
(Man, I'm getting a ton of stuff off my Google Reader for the blog this morning. Either that or I'm bored.)
