^ I’ve never read or heard of BLESS ME ULTIMA, so I can’t really comment.

I’m surprised by the variety of these lists. My English teacher this year warns people against writing our major lit-crit paper on 1984 because it’s too surface-satiric and not easily deep enough. For AP Lang this year, I read THE THINGS THEY CARRIED (which is awesome) and THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD (interesting once you understand the dialect). 12th grade honors lit will be reading KITE RUNNER, among others. Gatsby is 11th grade, Frankenstein is 10th for me.
