So, we received the summer reading list for my AP English Literature class next year, and was looking for some advice on which ones to (or not to) choose.
We have to choose 2 of the following:
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass—Frederick Douglass
A Farewell to Arms—Ernest Hemingway
All the Pretty Horses—Cormac McCarthy
The Red Badge of Courage—Stephen Crane
Black Boy---Richard Wright
The Crucible---Arthur Miller
Ethan Frome---Edith Wharton
Anything you know about any of these books would help. Thanks!

Agreed I read a little of it, author actually had a good understanding of what he was talking bout...hmm...uod_sa_libro wrote:I don't know if The Red Badge of Courage is your thing, but considering that the writer hadn't even gone to war before and when he wrote the book, it's a great read.
