drskip's "The College Bound Student's Recommended Reading List"Books/Literary Works that are useful to be familiar with before taking the AP English Composition and Literature exams. Also these books are important to have read before entering college. Well, books that are generally good to read period, whether you’re a high school student preparing to take the AP tests or not. P.S. As of today (June 7, 2006), I got a hold of the actual list I had in high school, so within the next few days, the list will have more books! |
