A list of Advanced Placement English Literature books and plays

Here is a list of the books and plays that were listed on the practice AP tests JudyMac gave us... plus others. Mind you, this is NOT a complete list. (Scary, huh??) There are over 200 books and plays listed here, in alphabetical order. You can click on the first letter of the title. I am sure there are plenty more books and plays out there and you can search them on your own, but this is a good list to start with. If anyone is able to read every single book and play listed here, e-mail me. I want to know (although I probably won't believe you...).

Haha, good luck!!
