Books I'd Put on a Syllabus

Like many voracious readers, I have often thought of curriclums I would have loved to have been taught and ones I would love to teach. This is collection of books I would put on a syllabus (for various grades and courses), some are accepted canon novels, plays and poetry and some are more new or off the beaten path. Hope you enjoy!
