Which book should I read? In AP /lit/ we have to choose one

holy shit is a separate peace actually put up with those other two
it seemed corny and lame even in 8th grade when i had to read it

>>8712185
>The Road
>A Separate Peace
>AP Lit
You need to go back

He did say it was the easiest, and I was actually considering it because reading 2 books by the same author at the same time sounds like a pain, and The Road doesn't appeal to me that much. Is A Seperate Peace actually bad, or just criticized for being easy to read?

>>8712185
AILD>LiA>>>The Road>>>>>ASP
I'm reading TSatF right after AILD and I don't feel like it's too much Faulkner.
AILD is short and paced really well for a quick read

>>8712205
What did he mean by this?

>>8712185

A Separate Peace is up there among the worst novels I've ever read.

>>8712248
What's so bad about it?

Read them both, you'll probably have to do some gay comparative essay or something so if anything doing it on one author is easier and more interesting.

>>8712185
Be practical. The Road is an fast read and its pretty accessible. If I was choosing books that I wanted to read for pleasure, it'd be the two Faulkners definitely. But for class? Make the shrewd and practical choice.

>>8712206
It was really fucking gay and also boring. Summary:
>boy meets boy
>boy wants to fuck boy
>boy tries to kill him for some reason
>breaks his leg
>ruins his dreams
>he dies for real later anyway
>also WWII is happening and war is scary and bad

>a separate peace
Waste of a slot

THE GAY NERD LOSER IS LIKE MUD

Yeah I just saw that Light in August is over 500 pages (twice as long as As I Lay Dying). That's a little much for school (although I'll read it at some point).

If A Seperae Peace is really as shitty as this board says, I'll have to go with The Road. What am I in for?

>What am I in for?
Certainly not quotation marks.

Greentext?

No, no dialogue notation.

>>8712248
Untrue, unless it's the only novel you've ever read.

>>8712414
The Road is really solid book, you're in for a pretty desolate read though

>>8712414

They're not on the road that much desu

the Road is a quick read and is powerful. Incredible imagery.

enough information and familiarity with shopping carts to diagnose mechanical issues and perform basic repairs.
