What books did you read in AP English Lit?

<p>I am taking the class next year, just got our summer reading of Heart of Darkness and Things Fall Apart. </p>

<p>All I know is we read Wuthering Heights and Macbeth at least...I don't know the rest yet.</p>

<p>No summer reading, and my school wonders why AP Lit has a 10-15% pass rate here.</p>

<p>My AP Lit teacher’s philosophy is to only read a few works, because we read quite heavily as underclassmen. Then again, I was the only sophomore in a class of seniors. In Lit, we read:</p>

<p>Hamlet
Beloved
The Elephant Man</p>

<p>supplemented by English 10 Honors books:</p>

<p>A Separate Peace
Of Mice and Men
Night
Julius Caesar</p>
