<p>We're probably going to read something in AP Spanish, but I'm not sure what.</p>
<p>For AP English, we'll read probably around 10 of these:
Mythology

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Invisible Man
One Fle Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Brave New World
Heart of Darkness
Frankenstein
St. Joan
The Handmaid's Tale
The Tempest
Othello
Catch-22

<p>I decided to hell with AP curriculum, I've read it all, doing independent study.</p>
<p>Midnight's Children
Satanic Verses
Inferno
Breakfast of Champions & more nonSL5 Vonnegut
War and Peace
the trial, Kafka</p>
<p>Maybe more, depends on how quick I finish. The awesome thing is I just have to write monthly papers for this godlike English teacher, not take tests or do assigned crap. Its great.</p>
<p>The Awakening was the worst book I have ever read. I was so happy when it ended. I LOLd when she committed suicide. Sorry for ruining book, but now you don't have to read it.</p>
