Ok, so I started this to get a consolidated list of novels/plays that most CCers would consider appropriate material for said AP test. This is to be used for both prep reading and as material for the “open” essay question.



Ulysses - James Joyce
Paradise Lost - John Milton
Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Hamlet - William Shakespeare
Macbeth - William Shakespeare
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest - Ken Kesey
Candide - Voltaire
The Iliad - Homer
The Odyssey - Homer
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck
East of Eden - John Steinbeck
The Crucible - Arthur Miller
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
The Sound and The Fury - William Faulkner
Frankenstein - Mary Wollstonecraft



Please feel free to add to the list, but make sure to include all preceding entries in addition to your inclusions.

Also, discussion is welcome, if the literary merit of a book is in question.
