wow, i have read 17 of these books...and heard of way more of them...its mainly thanks to AP english...my teacher rocked...and college modern condition...as much as i hated that class...it made me read that tough stuff
What books did you read for your AP lit class, and what one did you end up writing on for the exam?
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
Hamlet by William Shakespeare
The Stranger by Albert Camus
-Those were some of the ones from the list. I used the stranger on the ap test. We also read Sidhartha. I'm drawing a blank on the other books we read...i'm sure they will come back to me slowly. How about you?
We read in this order..I think:
Emma, Jane Austen
Beloved, Toni Morrison
Odeipus..spelled wrong
King Lear, Shakespear
The Awakening, Kate Chopin
Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, James Joyce
I studied Emma so hard for the exam and ended up writing on Beloved.
oh, we read oedipus also....and antigone...but none of those others
i remember reading antigone in 9th grade...i thought it was pretty interesting...i can't remember why, though.
because you're a pervert. she was the daughter of a man and his own mother and when he found out he gouged his own eyes out.
hahaha..it's just such a funny story because it sucks so bad to be Oedipus.
calm down over there, mole boy. teach your brother about art.
hey dan...if you like that....maybe you should read about freud's oedipal complex
Ah yes..it's very interesting and disgusting.
