<p>AP Environmental = Read "Silent Spring"</p>
<p>pgedufailedme,You are reading "How to lie with statistics".. thats one of the best books ever written.. you'll enjoy it..</p>
<p>good. I hope so b/c I can't see any book about math being interesting.</p>
<p>yourturnsir: dude run away from silent spring. I had to read it last year for bio and it just rambles on and on with exorbitant examples like japanese beetles in michigan. Seriously, just read the sparknotes/monkeynotes for silent spring and burn the book. All you have to know are insecticides bad because 1. kills off wanted species 2. pests develop immunities 3. toxic run-off effects us and other animals. this is my warning</p>

<p>Is my school the only AP Lit school that gave a list of about 40 books from which each student should choose 3 books and annotate them completely?</p>
<p>AP Lit:
Great Expectations</p>
<p>We have to choose 20 quotes throughout the book and write a page and a half about the significance of each.</p>

<p>Damn, you people have so few books to read...
For the 11th grade I had to (and did) read:</p>
<p>Literature:</p>
<p>The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Hugo
Pere Goriot - Balzac
The Red and the Black - Stendhal
Therese Raquin - Zola
Eugene Onegin - Pushkin
A Hero of Our Time - Lermontov
Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
some short stories by Chekhov
Seven Brothers - Kivi
some 1000 pages of our local classics :(</p>
<p>There were some three books more but they were kinda pointless and so I skipped them.
And if that wasn't bad enough...</p>
<p>English Literature:</p>
<p>David Copperfield
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
The Picture of Dorian Gray
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</p>
<p>invisible man is interesting and insightful</p>
<p>Wow I can't believe some of you guys have to read books for history!</p>
<p>This year I technically don't have to read anything over the summer for AP Lit since there is no official reading list, but the teacher did recommend that we read some works by authors from different countries.</p>
<p>Last year for AP Lang we had to pick 2 books to read from a really long list and I read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Hurston and Rabbit, Run by Updike.</p>
<p>H20Poloer, you can sparknote Their Eyes Were Watching God, but it's probably better to read it since some of the concepts are abstract, it's not that long anyway. Also, we watched Native Son in class and it follows the book pretty well, except for the furnace scene which you can just sparknote.</p>
<p>AP Lit: Frankenstein!</p>
<p>AP Lit: Their Eyes were Watching God -Hurston, Beloved -Morrison, The Awakening -Chopin</p>
<p>Very feminist oriented.. I've read the first too and am almost done with the third, good books.</p>
