I read:
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald
The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne
Part of Huck Finn, which would probably suck to have to read on your own.

I had a pretty awful teacher last year, and we only read around 3 books all year (including over the summer). With that, I thought that I was totally screwed for the exam, but ended up coming out with a 5. I guess it just goes to show that there are no real “required reads” for AP Lit – I didn’t recognize anything on the suggested book list for the open question, so I ended up having to use Scarlet Letter to talk about justice. It worked out alright, evidently :P
