I'm the SCHOOLMASTER and you are in THE CLASSROOM
Just like ELEVEN PLUS TWO equals TWELVE PLUS ONE

As I Lay Dying...William Faulkner
The Awakening...Kate Chopin
Black Boy...Richard Wright
Catch 22...Joseph Heller
Catcher in the Rye...J.D. Salinger
Go Tell It On The Mountain...James Baldwin
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings... Maya Angelou
Invisible Man...Ralph Ellison
My Antonia...Will Cather
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest...Ken Kesey
Slaughterhouse-Five...Kurt Vonnegut
The Bluest Eye...Toni Morrison
The Joy Luck Club...Amy Tan
A Farewell To Arms...Ernest Hemingway
Their Eyes Were Watching God...Zora Neale Hurston
The Things They Carried...Tim O'Brien

some of the books have mature themes (the teacher told the class) i don't want to read those kinds of books or anything sad, depressing, or symbolic.
I just want to know if i should read any other book besides the one I'm obligated to choose and read.
Apparently all of these books are on at least one list of books to read before college.
Advice please......

Hello. I am Ducky. I *know* Robin. In some ways. ;-)
I ramble about virtually everything. Especially my favorite books. My favorite books are the mysterious benedict society. AWESOME! My age is...uh...well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

My social studies teacher is awesome. {that could be considered random}

Welcome, Ducky!!!

I LOVE THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY!!!! Have you read the Secret Series?

Well Jackeline, I haven't read any of those books. The one I know most about is The Invisible Man. It's one of those books I know I should read one day, but I haven't yet and I'm not sure if I ever will. I know it would make me extremely depressed.

The one I would read is As I Lay Dying. I didn't know much about it prior to seeing your list, but it looks really interesting now. I think I might have to read it!

Hi Ducky! I dunno about your reading list, Jackeline, 'cause I'm not very good at recommending books I haven't read! :D Sorry!

'As I Lay Dying"

Hi!

Welcome Kyle! (I know I've already said this at least three times. XD)

I want to read It! The only Stephen King books I've read so far are Misery and On Writing-- but I thought they were both fantastic. :)

Hi

My "TBR" shelf is miles long. XD

Same here, Robin! On Writing is really good. I love books about writing. :) Zen in the Art of Writing is a great one, too.

It seems that my TBR list grows a lot faster than my read list. XD

So true. XD

I know how you feel, Frances.

Hi everybody!
Name: Sugarbug (of course that's not my real name)
Age: That's personal info.
Fav. book: I really do not know.
Fav. thing to ramble about: If I were to be stranded on a desert island, what things would I have with me?

XD That was a good introduction!

Thanks! I wrote it myself! lol

YAAAYYY SUGARBUG!

WOOT!

So... What would you have? I would have books, and a water purifier. And some mad skills to build an awesome hut on the beach.

Yeah, definitely a water purifier, a huge book, some rope, a phone {one can hope for reception!}, some matches, and a survival kit? Maybe. I dunno, I have to think some more.

I'd have one of my friends to keep me company, chocolate, mangos, a water purifier, lots of water, extra clothes, a phone, a book, a pencil, a pen, a notebook, a tent, a pet, an army knife, as you can see i really like to ramble about these things.

Hmmm...A Swiss Army knife would be nice. Pen and a journal. Extra clothes also good. First aid kit. Some food. Yes, a tent, very good. A hair brush.

oh yeah, and a first aid kit and a hair brush.
