<p>I know. I don't really know why she waited so long to assign us the books. I read both of those on my own, anyway. She's thinking she might assign us "All The Pretty Horses" and some others if we really don't like these books.</p>
<p>AP eng/lit- the color of water
AP Euro- The Dream of Scipio by Iain Pears
- Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert R Massie
AP Calc- nothing</p>
<p>(Our 7th grade class read Wuthering Heights. It was a beautiful book.)</p>
<p>our science book is the Hot Zone (something like that) (it's for the whole school, ap classes included)</p>
<p>AP Lit:
Jane Eyre
A Streetcar Named Desire
Brave New World
Catch-22</p>
<p>Emmared, whatever you do, do NOT, and I repeat myself vigorously, DO NOT, let her assign you All the Pretty Horses. It is the WORST book I have EVER read in my entire life. Not a single person I know has enjoyed it, and that's coming from approximately 90 students or so who were forced to read it. Not even the teachers liked it.</p>
<p>Anyways, for AP Lit
The Orestes Plays (all 3) by Aeschylus
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe (as part of the Cornell summer reading program)</p>
<p>Oooh, the Hot Zone is an amazing book!</p>
<p>Beowulf
The Power and the Glory
Hamlet and/or King Lear</p>
<p>Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K Massie</p>
<p>Read that book skeptically. It's much less scholarly than Massie's other works, and has some quite controversial stuff in it. Don't depend on it as a solid resource.</p>
<p>That said, the man is a very talented historian.</p>
<p>AP Euro:</p>
<p>Machiavelli-The Prince</p>
<p>Guns, Germs, and Steel (AP World History)</p>
<p>that book is awesome.</p>
<p>--no idea. school has not ended; have not gotten anything from teachers. Did have to read Beowulf for Honors Brit Lit this year though, as well as a biography of any Founding Father (I chose Chernow's Alexander Hamilton - a 700+ page monster, but a great read) for AP US History.</p>
<p>Gov't: Hardball
English: Pride and Prejudice, 1984, New Brave World and Lord of the Flies</p>
<p>A.P English Anna Karenina (did I spell it right, haven't opened the book yet!)</p>
<p>Ap English:</p>
<p>Jane Eyre
A Portrait of a Young Man as an Artist
Jude the Obscure</p>
