I tried searching for one online too, but the ones I found were pretty lame. Here are two books I personally would recommend:
"How to Read a Book" by Mortimer Adler
"The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne

My daughter's 9th grade English I Honors class just finished reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee...and they are currently reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel, which by the way was Oprah's book club pick in January (2006). Over the next few months they will also read the classics "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck and "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding (I read all of these novels, except for "Night," when I was in HS...didn't we all?).
Hope this helps! :)

Did you try the "One Hundred Great Books"? I think that is what they used to call it when I was in school (and dinosaurs walked the Earth).

DEFINITELY read some Vonnegut. I suggest Slaughterhouse 5 if you haven't already.

The Bible comes to mind.
