George Orwell 1984
Charles Dickens novels (I especially remember the Pickwick Papers and Great Expectations)
Do they allow Mark Twain these days?

I would do:
huck finn
hamlet or macbeth
a steinbeck OTHER THAN the pearl (that's a bit boring, it's done constantly anywhere from 7th to 12th grade. leave it to some other teacher)
for fun I would do winnie the pooh as real literature (rereading it as an adult is very different than as a child.)
old man and the sea is good and short with lots of analysis to be done.
how many books do you plan to cover?

I think Lord of the Flies was the most horrible book I've ever been forced to read. I would never, ever give it to my students to read. Ugh.
You people read so many books in school. Now I see why my secular education was considered so low-standard. We only read one full-length book in ninth grade - A Separate Peace - and the rest was short stories. Tenth grade - only A Tale of Two Cities, and probably nothing else; we had a really bad teacher.
How did I manage a 98% on the regent?
