<p>There were other excerpts, like from Walden, Self-Reliance, and Civil Disobedience, and The Jungle, etc.</p>

<p>I'm taking Lang next year, Lit the next. What do you guys recommend to read so it covers a good amount of the AP test?</p>

<p>For Lang..</p>

<p>Summer Reading
Into Thin Air
A Raisin in the Sun
The Crucible</p>

<p>School Year
The Chosen by Chaim Potok
Heart of Darkness
Killer Angels
Siddartha
A Modest Proposal</p>

<p>**For Lit Summer Assignment <a href="Thus%20far">/B</a>
Catch-22
A Separate Peace</p>

<p>For AP Lit. this past year I read:
(Among many many many others)</p>

<p>*House on Mango Street
*The Awakening
Crime and Punishment
Hamlet
*Macbeth
Dinner at the Homesick Resturant
Importance of Being Ernest
*Pride and Prejudice</p>

<p>(*Asterik indicates it’s actually good.)</p>

<p>But the best and most helpful book, and my top recommendation is:
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.
Although it’s a bit lengthy, it works well for a lot of different AP prompts. It’s very versatile, and wonderful story. I’d also recommend rereading a book from your previous honors class, like Gatsby, because that also helps a lot. Good luck with your AP class!</p>
