English Language Recommended Reading

<p>Well im doing lit. So far we’ve done:
-The illiad (A longass read, i personally got bored through it but if you’re into reading -1000 ways to kill people then go for it)
-Canterberry tales (though not all of it, maybe 1/2?)
-Crime and punishment (actually good!)
-Heart of Darkness (hella dense; we had to finish this by last week so i didnt actually do it and bsed annotations cause im taking a lot of AP tests)
-Trial and Death of socrates (Actually good! Esp if you’re into philosophy stuff. The republic is really good too; i read that on my own time)
-Othello (my favorite book of the year!)
-Hamlet (really good too!, though i disliked all the monologues)
-1984 (a must read. For everyone. Period. Amazing book).
-Brave New World (Really good too! Another must read for everyone book)</p>

<p>Then we did a crapload of poetry. </p>

<p>Scarlet Letter, Great Gatsby, Grapes of wrath, raisin in the sun, death of a salesman were all junior year stuff for me. Along with a bunch of other books but i dont have a list on me. </p>

<p>you guys go through hella little books if you only get through 2. I mean unless its something like the illiad, there is no reason for such slow progress. And even with the illiad, you could get through about 4 illiads by now. While still maintaining other class lessons.</p>
