Help with Ap Lit Novels

<p>Hello, I am in a bit of a predicament when it comes to the Ap lit test. This is slightly odd because unlike most, I have an amazing English teacher who is preparing us insanely well for the test. My problem, however, is that I am not an avid reader, and that might be too flattering of a statement. However, thanks to Ap lit, I do have a few works of "literary merit" under my belt, even if the novels I have read all come from English class. The works are:</p>

<p>Hamlet
The Red Badge of Courage
Frankenstein
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Heart of Darkness
Importance of Being Earnest(Not sure if this one counts)</p>

<p>Being recent reads, I have a strong recollection of these novels, but they don't cover a large spectrum of ap prompts. After some research, I have started reading The Invisible Man, but I am looking for suggestions of novels that will provide the largest increase in the variety of questions I will be able to answer. </p>

<p>I am confident in my writing ability, and barring an insanely low score on this essay, I would like to say I'm expecting a 5. My only fear is that I will receive a prompt that leaves me dumbfounded because of my limited literary diversity. With just under two months until the test, I do not have an extraordinary amount of time left, but I feel that I can read 3-4 works before May 11th. So, if anyone can offer suggestions of novels that will best expand my repertoire that would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Those six will cover all prompts (imo, but I’m pretty experienced)</p>

<p>Wuthering Heights
Great Gastby
Grapes of Wrath
Pride and Prejudice
Joy Luck Club
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Tom Sawyer</p>

<p>Came in here to say Heart of Darkness-- you’re in good shape if you’ve already read that! According to my AP Lit teacher, Heart of Darkness will cover nearly every prompt. If it doesn’t, the rest of the ones you’ve read will, for sure.</p>

<p>Have you read all the Harry Potters? I would absolutely not suggest using this as your first choice, but if you’re desperately stuck, it could be a backup plan B. Between the seven books, I can’t even imagine a prompt that can’t be answered with one of them. The reason I say not to make it a first choice is because you may get a very traditional grader who could dock you points for not using something of “significant literary merit”, but my boyfriend did get a 5 on AP Lit writing about Harry Potter.</p>
