<p>Anthem by Ayn Rand and an outlinish thing to turn in</p>
<p>There's a long list of second-choice books, but I am reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. We have to do questions for that. </p>
<p>This is for Senior AP English. It is also the smallest assignment we've ever had, and we've had the same teacher for 4 years.</p>
<p>For AP Lit, we're supposed to reread or read twice two of the following: Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, Invisible Man, The Great Gatsby, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Scarlet Letter, or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. That's it.</p>
<p>I've read all of them this year except for The Crucible and Invisible Man.</p>
<p>At my school, they have to read Don Quixote.</p>
<p>@ LINKGCN4</p>
<p>You guys can read Ender's Game for AP English Language? Wow. That's an EXCELLENT book, but it's certainly not "literature" in the fashioned sense of the word.</p>
<p>omg I wish I had to read The Kite Runner for school. <3
For English Lit, we have to read:
Murder in the Cathedral (T.S. Elliot)
Antigone (Sophocles)
Profiles in Courage (JFK)
The Five People You Meet in Heaven (Mitch Albom) (<3!)
The Alchemist (Paul Coehlo)</p>
<p>We're "expected" to keep a journal, too. (Maybe I'll actually do that this year... hmm...)</p>
<p>we had to read Ender's Game for 9th grade pre-ib english, and i agree it was VERY good. anyways, since im dropping IB english, for AP English i have to read The Invisible Man.</p>
<p>Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Luke, and some other passages from the King James Bible.
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (w/ detailed notes).</p>
<p>i have to read 3 books and do a whole bunch of crap with them...ugh!</p>
<p>My AP English Lit. teacher is so strict.</p>
<p>oh, we also have to do the AP exam questions from the AP Description packet. He wants to see what level we're on.</p>

<p>LinkGCN4: <em>Ender's Game</em></p>
<p>A favorite book! The rest of the series and the companion series are good too. </p>
<p>I don't know much about your other two choices, but you can't go wrong with <em>Ender's Game</em>. I don't know anyone who hasn't liked it.</p>
<p>NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W00T!!!!!!!!!! i love tht i only hve a summer assignment for 1 class next year :).</p>
<p>Enders Game is amazing! And I loved Brave New World (we had to read that for honors last year)</p>
<p>We have to read:
Tess of the d'Ubervilles
Lord of the Flies
Crime and Punishment (and answer questions about this)</p>
<p>and test over all of them at the beginning of next school year. I've heard they're all decent books, though...</p>
<p>for AP LAnguage, we are required to read</p>
<p>Death of a Salesman
The Crucible
My Antonia
Les Miserables</p>
<p>plus writing essays comparing the themes of each one</p>
<p>Water for Elephants
The Poisonwood Bible
Reading in the Dark</p>
<p>^ poisonwood bible is crazy long, but beautiful. The plot is wonderful, the characters are memorable and each have their own voice (I like the "annoying" shallow one)...really funny too. I remember them stuffing like cake packets down their shirts hah.</p>
<p>Poisonwood Bible is really good! Kingsolver's other books aren't quite as excellent, though still decent</p>
