Over the IB, I did the following:
Kafka - The Metamorphosis
Camus - The Outsider
Sophocles - Antigone
Shakespeare - The Merchant of Venice
Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Heaney - Selected poetry
Blake - Songs of Innocence and of Experience
Shakespeare - King Lear
Ibsen - A Doll's House
Marlowe - Dr. Faustus
Miller - Death of a Salesman
Beckett - Waiting for Godot
Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby
Gilman - The Yellow Wallpaper
Chopin - The Awakening
Hardy - Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Yellow Wallpaper and Awakening got changed for the second year because they didn't fulfill the criteria though I'd read them over the summer anyway. Got replaced by some short stories by Guy de Maupassant and In Patagonia (Chatwin), the latter of which I've still yet to read. I also read Brave New World (Huxley), The Handmaid's Tale (Atwood) and A Clockwork Orange (Burgess) for my extended essay on the subject of dystopia (to add to Nineteen Eighty-Four, Fahrenheit 451 and The Man in the High Castle which I already had under my belt).
GCSE involved To Kill A Mockingbird (Lee) and An Inspector Calls (Priestley) for the English literature exam.
