Only a few of those books we read in my non-advanced English class. To be fair, we covered quite a few classics, some of which I will be reading with my own children, nothing from what was mentioned above, except Beowulf.
I don't think that is a very advanced list, by the way.
It is from an AP course which is college-level work. Anyways, I should have mentioned that is actually a summer reading list before you start that course.
What books did you cover?
From what I can remember, and this is not an endorsement...
A Christmas Carol
Great Expectations
Romeo and Juliet
Julius Caesar
Beowulf
The Scarlet Letter
Of Mice and Men
Moby ####
Pygmalion
Hamlet
Lord of The Flies
A Day No Pigs would Die
Macbeth
The Iliad and The Odyssey
The Canterbury Tales
L'Morte d'Arthur
The Walden
famous poems, especially Robert Frost
I know there were more but I can't really recall them, especially the works by Transcendentalists. I also read many more from common high school lists on my own in elementary school and junior high.
Now that's a better required reading list.
In fact, many of those books are on Fr. Iscara's list of literature "must reads".
In the OP's list, the only book on Fr. Iscara's list is Frankenstein.
I still have the list somewhere in hard copy form.
