AP English Reading List

I put some of these of my list because they looked interesting. So I'm working on a good selection for the next Classics Challenge.
I have an extra copy of Jane Eyre. You can have it.
I take it the ones not in black are the ones you've already read. And are the stars your rating of them?
Nevermind about the rating question. I just realized that column had the header rating.
You did it! BUT what a daunting list. and when you put the two lists together it really is scary. The thing I hate about lists is they can be so long and overwhelming. The thing I like about lists is crossing items off.
There are lots on your lists that I want to read, too. I can't believe they put Bean Trees on this list. It's a wonderfully enjoyable book, but does it really belong with all these others?
