What books did you read this year for your English Course?

<p>College Writing: None. It’s a writing class, not a reading one.
although I have read The Odyssey and The Aeneid in my Latin class</p>

<p>Junior Year: AP English Language - The Scarlet Letter, The Awakening, The Great Gatsby, and The Catcher in the Rye.</p>

<p>EDIT: We also read The Things They Carried over the summer before school started as preparation.</p>

<p>AP English: Macbeth, Scarlett Letter, Huck Finn, Goodman Brown, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, East of Eden, (such a good book) Malcolm X</p>

<p>I was enraptured as I read both novels. Khaled hosseini is such an amazing writer. I prefer a thousand splendid suns to the kite runner, though.</p>

<p>Ah! I did a literary research paper on The Things They Carried, it was such a good (sad) book. </p>

<p>I’m in English 10 Honors
My class had to read:</p>

<p>-Siddhartha
-Black Boy
-The Tortilla Curtain (Hated this book…)
-Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</p>

<p>I had to read for individual book reports/projects/essays:
The Catcher in the Rye <3
The Things They Carried
Jane Eyre </p>

<p>We read plays too:
-Raisin in the Sun
-The Bear
-Othello
-Antigone</p>

<p>English 11: catcher in the rye, ragtime, scarlet letter, the awakening, narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, as I lay dying, 6 american poets, the great gatsby, a streetcar named desire, death of a salesman, and a few more I can’t remember.
In AP Lang: just short stories including Woolf’s Death of a Moth and etc</p>

<p>Macbeth
Frankenstein
Animal Farm
and some short stuff (Beowulf, Canterbury Tales and others)</p>

<p>AP Lit
Summer:
Macbeth
Saint Joan
Waiting for Godot
Heart of Darkness
Inferno
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</p>

<p>During the class:
Beowulf
Hamlet
Four Quartets
Candide
many other shorter things
I feel like I’m forgetting one…</p>

<p>AP Lang</p>

<p>Grapes of Wrath (summer reading): It was good, but Steinbeck’s descriptions can get dry from time to time…
Death of a Salesman (summer reading): It’s good because it’s so short. I didn’t understand anything until I SparkNoted.
Scarlet Letter: I read until chapter 18, SparkNoted the rest, got an A on the essay and a B on the test. Awesome.
Huck Finn: I read until chapter 6, SparkNoted the rest, no essay, and a C on the test. It’s okay; I still have an A overall.
Bartleby: Didn’t read it, SparkNoted, got an A on the quiz.
The Awakening: Read the whole thing. Chopin’s writing is rather concise and easy to decipher.
Great Gatsby: Last book woo!</p>

<p>Essentially, I don’t read books for English anymore. It’s not really worthwhile because the class is so easy itself.</p>

<p>English 9 Honors:
Animal Farm
Romeo and Juliet
The Odyssey
Women of the Silk
To Kill a Mockingbird</p>

<p>Plus we had to complete an ‘outside reading assignment’, and read one book from a list (I read The Secret Life of Bees)</p>

<p>AP Lit:
The Road
The Kite Runner
How to Read Literature Like A Professor
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Frankenstein
Jekyll & Hyde
Crime & Punishment
Death of a Salesman
(1 more play he hasn’t announced yet)</p>

<p>Dorian Gray was my favorite. We got to choose an AP selection to read and annotate over spring break so I decided to go with more Wilde and picked up The Importance of Being Earnest. It’s so funny =D</p>

<p>Lord of The Flies
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Macbeth
Frankenstein
Siddhartha</p>

<p>Freshman:</p>

<p>The Odyssey
Pilgrim’s Process
The Prince and the Pauper
Richard III (And saw the play)
Antigone</p>

<p>Also, my Literature book has tons of classic short stories. It also contains parts of classical books, but I plan to read them in full during the summer.</p>

<p>English 10 Honors: The Stranger, Beowulf, 1984, and in the process of picking out another book.</p>

<p>AP English Lit
We haven’t read many books this year. We did a lot of short stories first semester.</p>

<p>But umm… We read Hamlet and The Stranger as our required reading and we had an independent novel choice. I chose To Kill a Mockingbird.</p>

<p>And right now we’re supposed to be reviewing our junior/sophomore books (Hamlet, Frankenstein, Sister Carrie, Black Boy, Scarlet Letter, Huck Finn, Pride and Prejudice)</p>

<p>And then some summer reading too… I think I read Hitchhiker’s Guide.</p>

<p>IB HL English Final Year</p>

<p>Hamlet, Dubliners by James Joyce, Read some Plath, A Modest Proposal, Ethan Frome, 1984, Handmaid’s Tale and Metamorphosis.</p>

<p>World Literature:</p>

<p>Life of Pi
Things Fall Apart
Les Miserables
The Illiad
