Etc. - Question of the Week (December 2008): Holiday Edition - posted 3 weeks ago

I don't even know where to begin! But I guess the one that comes to mind right away The Screwtape Letters. May seem odd, but to me it's a very insightful yet playful look into human nature and our various eccentricities and how we relate to each other, regardless of your feelings on religion. At that age, you begin to become a little more self-aware but also aware of how what you say and do affects other people.

Also, I'd want to give them something very fun and escapist like the Harry Potter or Chronicles of Narnia series...sometimes it's easy to take things too seriously when you're doing a bunch of heavy college reading, it's nice to just lose yourself in a fantasy world sometimes.
