Classics. Nothing too recent. Something that would be taught in school, like The Great Gatsby or To Kill a Mockingbird. What we read that counted from my Lit class:

anything Shakespeare; we read Othello, Titus Andronicus

Oedipus Rex

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The Awakening

The Scarlet Letter

Native Son

The Glass Menagerie

Frankenstein

The Kite Runner counted for some reason, according to my teacher

Death of a Salesman

Gone with the Wind (for my senior project)
