The ballad of songbirds and snakes is AMAZING. Hamlet as well is awesome. I love this lineup

Love that brave new world is on here. I read it for my AP Lit class in high school and still think about it regularly

Isn’t a ballad of songbirds and snakes like not exactly a book you would teach in school (esp honors)? Not hating at all, just curious since for my English class in my non-English speaking country that would have never been allowed because it’s too easy/like not actual literature

It’s definitely actual literature. That book in particular has a lot of subtext and things you have to pay attention to regarding the main character due to his place in the story. He’s an unreliable narrator with some major mental issues and who makes some terrible choices. I think it’s perfect, considering it’s the most complex and detailed book in the series, and because it’s a prequel that doesn’t require you to read the others to understandz

I’m a big fan of classics and TBOSAS definitely reads and is constructed like a classic.

i base what i teach off of themes and ideas represented in the reading rather than the structure of the reading itself. so yes balls of songbirds and snakes is fairly easy to read flat out, but it’s the deeper themes of power, class, ambition, etc that drive the lesson behind it if that makes sense

Okay yeah that’s fair and honestly I wish I would’ve read something like that in hs because I would probably actually have enjoyed it

You could still do another satire, like Fahrenheit 451 or animal farm or something
