The Grapes of Wrath
Snow Falling on Cedars
A Lesson before Dying
A Raisin in the Sun
Hiroshima
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Crucible and All My Son's
Walden
Huckleberry Finn
Our Town
In Cold Blood

Those are on the recommendation sheet, so yeah!. haha

It does not have to be a classic!. It can be modern, but the writing has to be good!. It's AP English!. I really like fantasy, and it HAS TO BE an American novel!. Cannot be British!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
